First HeatingManually set temperature and time195°C / 15min
After 7 minutes, pause the cooking and swap the items’ positions from top to bottom. Remove any items that have started to burn. For items that are still cold or hard in the center but haven’t burned, resume the remaining cooking time. Remove any items that are hot and soft all the way through.
Instructions for preheating, mid-cooking checks, and how to check for doneness are included in the preparation instructions.
No knife work, parboiling or marinating is needed. Take the fries out of the freezer just before cooking and keep them frozen during any preheating.
Check Before Cooking
Fit the crisper plate while the appliance is cold and select preheat with no food inside. Set 195℃ and start. Add the fries after the automatic 3-minute preheat cycle finishes.
Use store-bought shoestring potatoes that have been pre-coated in oil and are suitable for cooking in an oven or air fryer. The thickness should be 8mm or less. Do not substitute them with thick-cut, breaded, or raw potatoes. Be sure to check the cooking instructions specified on the product packaging.
Cook the entire amount listed in the ingredients section in a single batch. Ensure the food is spread out without overlapping on the inner rack or plate and that it does not exceed the MAX line. If it does not fit, do not start the cycle; instead, refer to the official instructions for your specific model to select a method that suits your quantity and arrangement. Do not adjust cooking times based on weight or volume ratios.
Stay beside the air fryer during cooking and keep the intake and exhaust vents clear. If there is smoke, a burning smell or anything abnormal, stop heating and discontinue use according to the manual.
Instructions
01
Measure the amount while it's still frozen
Check the cooking method on the product label and weigh the listed amount of fries while frozen. Lightly coat them with 3g of rice bran oil in a bowl. Keep the salt for finishing.

02
Preheat the unit
Fit the crisper plate while the appliance is cold and select preheat with no food inside. Set 195℃ and start. Add the fries after the automatic 3-minute preheat cycle finishes.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the inner rack or crisper plate. Do not use paper or foil, and do not block the ventilation holes. If the entire amount does not fit, do not start cooking. Check the official instructions for the same model for a method matching the amount and placement.

04
Cook, turning and rearranging partway through
Manually set the temperature and time to match the initial heating settings. After the specified time has elapsed, pull out the basket and confirm that the machine has paused automatically. Place the basket on a trivet, flip the items over, and remove any that have started to burn. Of the items that are still cold or hard in the center but have not burned, return only those that are unburned to the basket, then reinsert the basket and resume the remaining cooking time.
Check to see if it's hot all the way to the center
Stop heating, remove several of the thickest fries, and split them with a fork on a plate. Check that they are hot and soft throughout, without cold or hard centers. Do not judge doneness by surface color alone. If they are not ready, follow the doneness guidance below.
Once you’ve checked that the center is cooked through, transfer it to a clean plate and sprinkle with 0.5g of salt if needed. Do not add salt if the food is already salted. Leave the lid off and eat once it reaches a safe eating temperature.
Remove several thick pieces, cut them open, and check that they are hot and tender all the way to the center, with no cold or hard centers. Do not judge based on surface color alone. If the center is cold or hard, do not serve it; instead, check the cooking instructions for the product to confirm the proper procedure for the same model, quantity, and thickness. If no appropriate method is available, do not repeatedly add time without a basis, and do not eat it.
Add the fries while frozen. Rinsing, soaking and microwave thawing are unnecessary. Do not use these settings for fries with large clumps of ice or fries that have thawed and stuck together.
Should I add oil?
Lightly coat the oil-processed frozen fries with 3g of rice bran oil. Avoid pools of oil. This recipe is not a no-added-oil or fat-free recipe.
How many minutes and at what temperature can I make it?
Select your appliance model and use its listed initial heating settings. Do not assume the fries are done when the initial time ends; check the center during cooking and at the end.
What if the fries are soggy or unevenly browned?
Check for any overlapping pieces or ice chunks, and rotate the potatoes and flip them over halfway through cooking. Once done, transfer them immediately to a plate; do not cover them while hot to prevent them from steaming. Do not simply extend the cooking time while leaving a large batch in the air fryer.
How the Recipes Were Created and Sources Consulted
Standards verified in official documents
The frozen-food table lists 454g of fries at 195℃ for 15〜20 minutes. The manual specifies a 3-minute preheat at 195℃.
Independently designed details and unverified points
I’ve independently adopted a portion size of 200g for a single layer. Since this differs from the 454g specified in the reference material, the total cooking time is not yet determined. I will not adjust the time proportionally; instead, I will check the progress halfway through the initial 15-minute cooking period. The amounts of oil and salt, as well as the thickness of the julienne cuts, are also based on my own parameters.
