Place the air fryer basket in the air fryer.

Add half a bag of frozen french fries to the basket and make sure they're evenly spread out.

Step 3

Close the lid and air fry for 15 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 4

If you are using an Instant Pot air fryer, partway through cooking, the display says turn Food. If you are using an air fryer without this feature, set a timer to turn the fries 10 minutes into the cooking process.

Open the lid and using silicone mitts, lift the basket and shake the contents so the fries are tossed well. Close the lid and continue cooking.

Step 6

When the cooking time is up, open the lid and check to make sure the fries are cooked to your liking. Toss the fries again and air fry for another 2 minutes, if desired.

Step 7

Transfer the fries to a serving dish using tongs and coat with your choice of seasonings, if desired. **

Step 8

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 9

Spread fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.
