What I Love About the Recipe
My favorite part about this recipe is the fact that the Air Fryer frozen fries are so much better and healthier than deep fried French fries.
They are able to retain the same crispy and crunchy texture, but without all the extra grease.
The hot air that circulates through the basket when you air fry the French fries is what helps these fries get crispy.
