The typical air frying time for French fries is around 15 to 20 minutes at a temperature between 375°F and 400°F (190°C to 200°C). For best results, it's recommended to shake or flip the fries halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness.
Key Details:
- Preheat the air fryer to about 375°F to 400°F.
- Cook fries for 15-20 minutes.
- Shake or flip the fries every 5 to 10 minutes for even cooking.
- Adjust time based on fry thickness and desired crispiness.
- Homemade fries may cook faster (around 12-15 minutes) at about 380°F, flipping halfway.
- Frozen fries typically take around 20 minutes, shaking basket every 5 minutes.
This approach works for both frozen and homemade cut fries, though homemade fries may require slightly less time than frozen ones.
