PREHEAT your air fryer at 400° for 5 minutes. BREAK up the frozen fries if needed. Here is the trick for the best crispy air fryer frozen French fries you’ve ever had. USE A WATER SPRITZ BOTTLE to SPRAY your frozen French fries with olive oil! This allows them to get a nice even coat of oil. Spray them to keep the oil light. You don’t want them too oily.
