Step 3

Air fry for 20 minutes, shaking every 5 minutes: Air Fry, shaking the basket every 5 minutes until the fries are crispy and a light golden color, about 20 minutes. (Thin fries, like shoestring fries, take less, about 15 minutes. Thick fries, like steak fries, take about 25 minutes.) Serve and enjoy!
