AIR FRYER FROZEN FRENCH FRIES
Straight out of the freezer and better than fast food fries without the guilt of deep-frying. Feel free to use your preferred frozen French fry cut but keep in mind that steak-cut or crinkle will take a couple minutes longer.

- Preheat your air fryer: This will help the fries cook evenly.
- Cook the fries in batches: This will help prevent them from overcrowding and sticking together.
