Notes
Troubleshooting
-
- Fries not crispy enough? Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Increase the temperature or cooking time a little bit, if necessary. Use cooking spray instead of oil, but remember: use an oil sprayer filled with your preferred oil. Do not use a pressurized cooking spray with additives as it can damage the nonstick surface of your air fryer!
-
- Burned the fries? Lower the temperature and cooking time, shake the basket more often, and don't use too much oil. See our guide to air frying oils if your oil doesn't seem to be working well for you.
-
- Fries not cooking evenly? Shake the basket frequently and avoid overcrowding. If you're using homemade french fries you froze yourself, make sure they've been cut to equal sizes.
- Nutritional value is based off of generic frozen shoestring fries. Please check the packaging of your frozen fries for accurate nutrition.
