Initial Heating Settings

First HeatingAir Oven190°C / 17min

After 8 minutes, pause the timer and flip the items over. 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 timer for the remaining 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
  • Attach the inner basket to the cooled unit in the correct orientation, and prepare it without preheating. Do not add 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. 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.
  • Do not operate continuously for more than 90 minutes. After cooking, use only enough food so that the level does not exceed the MAX line.

    Cook, turning and rearranging partway through

    Select “Air Oven,” set the temperature and time to the initial cooking settings, and start the cycle. Pause the cycle after the specified time has elapsed, then remove the basket and place it on a trivet. Flip the items so they are upside down. Remove any items 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 and resume the remaining cooking time. After the cycle ends, do not unplug the unit until the cooling fan has stopped.

    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.

    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 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.
