Shoestring Fries in the Air Fryer

400°F for 8 to 11 minutes, shake at 5.

  1. 1

    Do not thaw. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.

  2. 2

    Spread the frozen shoestring fries in a single layer straight from the bag.

  3. 3

    Air fry for 8 to 11 minutes, shaking the basket at 5 minutes so nothing fuses together.

  4. 4

    Follow the package directions and check the center for doneness. Browning alone does not show that raw meat or poultry is cooked safely.

Use these settings as a starting point; thickness, quantity, and appliance model affect timing. How to use our cooking guides.

Worth knowing. Thinnest fries — check at 8 min to avoid scorching.
