Tips

  • Don’t overcrowd: Try not to pile too many fries into the air fryer or they may take longer to crisp up and cook unevenly.
  • Toss during reheating: Make sure to toss the fries halfway through the reheating process to ensure they are cooking evenly and crisping up.
  • Adjust time if needed: Thicker-cut fries will need to reheat for longer intervals. Adjust the cooking time as needed.
