1. Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F. This ensures your potatoes cook evenly from the moment they hit the basket.

2. Lightly oil the air fryer basket. A thin coat helps prevent sticking and can contribute to an even crispier exterior.

3. Arrange the frozen potatoes in a single layer basket, ensuring there’s enough space for air to circulate freely. This is key for achieving that desired crispiness.

4. For smaller cuts like fries or diced potatoes, set the timer for 15 minutes. Larger cuts, such as cook frozen potato wedges, may need 20-25 minutes.

5. Halfway through the cooking time, give the basket a shake or use tongs to flip the potatoes. This helps them brown evenly.

6. If you find your potatoes aren’t as crispy as you’d like, add a few extra minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
