Air Fried Triple-Cooked Fries

Critical Success Points

  • Warm‑water soak (keeps interior frozen while roughening surface)

  • Shake/toss halfway through cooking
  • Season immediately after cooking while fries are hot

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – handle with care when tossing.
  • Air fryer basket becomes extremely hot; use oven mitts.
  • Steam from microwaving can cause burns; open door slowly.
