Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Frozen French Fries (crinkle cut, shoestring, tater tots, regular, curly fries, etc.)
  • Cooking spray or oil in an oil mister
  • Salt or french fry seasoning
  • Air fryer basket
  • Tongs
  • Serving bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF.
  2. Add the frozen french fries in a single layer to the air fryer basket.
  3. Spray with cooking spray, or mist evenly with oil.
  4. Cook for 6-9 minutes, shaking the basket every 4 minutes for even crisping.

Notes

- For the crispiest frozen french fries, avoid overcrowding the basket. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even air circulation.
- For best results, use a high-heat cooking spray or an oil mister for a light, even coating. This helps achieve that signature golden-brown crisp.
- If your fries aren't crisping sufficiently, extend the cooking time by 1-2 minutes, shaking the basket frequently, until they reach your desired level of crunch.
