Tips
1. There is no need to thaw the fries. Just put them straight from the packet into preheated air fryer.
2. You cannot refreeze these fries, have them fresh and hot. In case you wish to, you can store them in air tight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat them for 4-5 minutes in air fryer at 180C or 360F before consuming.
3. Serve them with dips of choice. I love honey mustard dip, ketchup or Chipotle mayo with them.
4. Do not overcrowd the basket. A bit of overlapping is fine.
