Place the frozen thick-cut French fries into a microwave-safe container. Cover them completely with water and let them soak for 30 seconds.

Drain off all the water from the container. Then, cover the container with a lid and shake it aggressively for several seconds until the fries appear "roughed up" or "fluffy" on the surface. This creates a more textured surface for crisping.

Place the covered container of fries into a microwave and microwave for 5 minutes.

Carefully remove the hot fries from the microwave and transfer them to an air fryer basket. Air fry the fries at 400°F for 15 minutes, ensuring to shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even crisping.

Once air-fried to a golden crisp, transfer the fries to a bowl. Optionally, toss them with a drizzle of melted beef fat and a generous sprinkle of salt for enhanced flavor and crispiness.
