The key to evenly browned and crispy fries is spreading them in a single layer in your air fryer basket. It’s no big deal if they’re touching, but avoid stacking them, which will prevent the hot air in the fryer from evenly crisping all the edges.
If you want to make more fries than what will fit in a single layer, transfer the first batch to a sheet tray and keep them warm in a 200-degree-F oven. Repeat with as many batches as you’d like.
How Long Does It Take?
If you cut your fries into 1/4-inch matchsticks, they’ll be done cooking in just about 14 minutes (anything thicker will take longer). To make sure all sides get good color, use a small pair of tongs to flip the fries halfway through cooking.
