Frozen French Fries In The Air Fryer
Frozen French fries cooked in the air fryer achieve a crisp exterior and tender interior without deep frying. This simple method calls for spreading fries evenly in the basket, cooking first at a moderate temperature then increasing heat while optionally spraying with olive oil to enhance crispness. The fries are shaken midway to ensure even frying. This approach delivers a practical way to prepare frozen fries quickly with minimal oil.
