Initial Heating Settings

First HeatingAir Oven190°C / 15min

After 10 minutes, pause the timer and flip the items to switch their positions. Remove any items that have started to burn. For items that are still cold or hard in the center but not yet burned, resume the timer for the remaining time. Remove any items that are hot and tender all the way through.

Instructions for preheating, mid-cooking checks, and how to check for doneness are included in the preparation instructions.

No knife, parboiling, or marinating is required. Remove from the freezer just before cooking, and keep the food frozen until right before cooking.

Check Before Cooking
  • Fit the inner rack in the correct orientation while the appliance is cold. Use Air Oven without preheating. Do not switch to a mode that uses water.
  • 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. Check that the food spreads across the inner rack without overlapping and stays below the MAX line. If it does not fit, do not start; check the official instructions for the same model and choose a method matching the amount and placement. Do not scale the cooking time using weight or capacity 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.
  • Limit continuous use to less than 180 minutes, and wait until the unit has cooled completely before cooking again.

    Spread them out so they don't overlap

    Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the inner basket. Do not line the basket with paper or foil, and do not block the ventilation holes. Do not start cooking if the entire amount does not fit; proceed to the “Arrangement” section in the conditions.

    Place them in a single layer without overlapping. The shape of the basket varies by model.

    Cook, turning and rearranging partway through

    Select the first heating setting on the Air Oven and press START/STOP to begin. After the specified elapsed time, press START/STOP to pause, then place the basket on a trivet. Swap the positions of the items, top and bottom, and remove any that have started to burn.

    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.

    Split several of the thickest fries and check for cold or hard centers.

    Sprinkle with salt and serve.

    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.

Check the results

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.

Things You Can Verify Without Consulting Anyone →

If you get stuck along the way

Do you thaw frozen fries before adding them?

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 some 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.

For the first 15 minutes, following the guidelines in the materials, cooking times are set in 5-minute increments to avoid ambiguous time intervals. The thickness of the julienne cuts, the amount of oil and salt, the arrangement of the ingredients, and the check at the 10-minute mark are based on my own design.
