  6. Place fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket (avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary).
  7. Cook:
  8. Air fry for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking for even crispiness.

Notes

Crispy Fries: Lightly coating fries in oil helps them crisp, but they can cook without oil if you prefer.
Even Cooking: Shake or toss fries halfway through cooking to prevent sticking.
Season Creatively: Sweet and savory options work well — try cinnamon & sugar, smoked paprika, or chili powder.
Storage: Best served immediately; leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer for 3–5 minutes.
Batch Cooking: Don’t overcrowd the basket — air circulation is key to crisp fries.
