How Long to Cook Curly Fries in Air Fryer?

Depending on the model, it should take between 9-10 minutes to cook curly fries. Check them after 4 minutes, if necessary.

Recipe Tips

Always start with a preheated air fryer, so the blast of hot air can seal the outside of the fries making them extra crispy while the inside stays light and fluffy. Shake the air fryer basket after the first 5 minutes to make sure the air circulates around all the fries.

Avoid overcrowding the air fryer. Cook in batches and keep fries warm in the oven until ready to serve. Reheat leftover fries in the air fryer and spray some cooking oil on them first to crisp them up again.
