About this tool
This page opens the air fryer converter with frozen french fries preselected in the food lookup — a direct setting, not a conversion from an oven recipe. Frozen fries are commonly air fried at about 400°F (200°C) for roughly 15-18 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket around the halfway point so every piece gets even airflow.
Fries are one of the foods air fryers do best precisely because of that airflow: a thin, single layer with lots of surface area crisps far faster and with far less oil than deep frying or oven baking, which is why fries are usually the very first thing people cook when they get an air fryer.
Exact time depends on how thick-cut the fries are and how full the basket is: thin shoestring fries can be done closer to 15 minutes, while thick steak-cut fries or a fuller basket may need closer to 18-20. Start checking at the low end and shake the basket at least once for even browning.
Example. An oven setting of 400°F for 20 minutes converts to 375°F and a time range of 15 to 16 minutes.
Limit. The temperature shift is a fixed 25°F or 15°C and the time factor is only the 0.75 to 0.80 band, with no per-model wattage.
