Doneness
Fries are evenly golden-brown and audibly crisp; centres are fluffy when bitten.
Oil & seasoning
None — most frozen fries are pre-oiled. A light spray on shoestring cuts helps.
Season with: salt (after cooking, while still hot).
Watch out for
- Do not thaw the fries first — frozen fries crisp better than thawed ones because surface moisture flashes off in the air fryer.
- Shoestring fries need 10–11 minutes; thick steak fries need 16–18.
