For extra crispy fries, ensure the potatoes are completely dry before tossing with oil. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and crispness. Adjust cooking times based on your air fryer model, as cooking times may vary. For a bolder vinegar flavor, lightly sprinkle the cooked fries with additional vinegar while they are still hot.
