Homemade crispy fries are just so good! When using an air fryer, you can half the calories compared to deep frying them. But there are several reasons why your fries won´t be crispy in the air fryer. Find here the 4 most common reasons:

You have put too many fries in the air fryer

They will not cook evenly if you put too many fries in the air fryer at a time. Cover the base of your air fryer with just one layer of fries. Smaller portions can be cooked more evenly and quickly.

Too much oil

Another reason for soggy fries in the air fryer can be too much oil. If you use too much oil, they will soak up the oil. This means they can no longer become crispy. An oil spray bottle can solve this problem because you can dose the oil.

Here is a step-by-step recipe for the perfect homemade fries in the air fryer!

You haven’t left them long enough in the fryer

Foods in an air fryer take longer than in a conventional fryer. If your fries are not crispy, they may need some cooking time. Leave them in for a little longer and shake the basket from time to time so that they get the same heat from all sides.

The temperature is too low

How high you need to set the temperature on your air fryer depends on the model you are using. If your fries are not crispy, try setting the temperature higher to achieve the desired result.
