Ingredients

  • 1 16 oz bag Shoestring french fries See notes for cook time for other fry types
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Spray your basket with cooking spray (I like to use coconut oil spray so it does not damage the basket.) Air fry at 400F for 13-15 minutes for shoestring fries (additional fry cuts time and temperature listed in recipe card), shaking a few times during cooking.
  • Carefully remove hot fries from basket and drizzle with 2 teaspoon olive oil and salt to taste. Use a spatula or tongs to carefully coat the fries and serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you do not have a rotating basket be sure to shake the basket a few times (at least once, halfway) during cooking.
  • Oil & season fries after they cook and serve immediately for ultimate freshness, texture and deep fried (but healthier!) taste.
  • Adjust the cooking time as needed for thicker fries (they make take longer) or thinner fries (they make take less time).
  • Salt fries after air frying to maintain crispiness.
  • Serve hot with ketchup, fry sauce or your favorite dipping sauce!
  • Recommended cooking times for other types of fries:  
    Generally follow this guide: shoestring: 13-15 minutes, crinkle: 15-17 minutes, steak: 17-20 minutes.
