Arby’s fries took 10 mins in my non preheated Cosori air fry and 7 minutes in my preheated Instant pot vortex pro oven air fryer. This is a guide that shouldn’t be much different from shy air fryer. However start checking yours 2 mins before the stated time and add time as needed.
How to make it in the instant pot vortex pro oven
This air fryer has automatic preheat. Select the air fry button, set temp to 400°F / 200°C and time for 8 minutes. The air fryer usually takes 3 to 4 mins to preheat making the total time for this recipe to be 11 to 12 mins in the oven air fryer.
While it’s preheating, arrange fries in air fryer rack or tray. When air is ready, slide the tray into the middle rack and air fry for 7 to 8 mins.

Air fryer curly fries are best served fresh. They come already precooked and frozen so when you are making frozen curly fries in air fryer, you are basically reheating them.
