  • Toss the French fries with tongs or by hand until evenly coated with oil and seasonings. Arrange the French fries roughly in a single layer.
  • Air fry the French fries for 12 minutes at 400°F (200 °C). Then shake the French fries or toss with the tongs and arrange in a single layer again.
  • Air fry for another 12 minutes at 400°F (200 °C) until golden and crispy.
  • Serve the French fries with ketchup, mayonnaise, or your favorite dipping sauce. Or serve it as a side to the main dish, like with hamburgers. You can also eat them all on their own!

Notes

Storage
I would recommend making just enough French fries at a time that you need. This avoids food waste as French fries aren't the best leftover food. It also makes sure you don't over-crowd the air fryer basket and undercook your fries! 
These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing.
