- 1 lb frozen french fries
- 1/2 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- ketchup
- black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Preheat the Air Fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Place the frozen french fries in a single layer into the air fryer basket.
Spray a light coat of olive oil over the fries, then season with salt.
Air fry for 10 minutes at 400 degrees F.
Shake the basket well, then continue to cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until desired crispiness is achieved.
- Don't overcrowd the basket: For maximum crispiness, ensure fries are in a single layer. Cook in batches if necessary. Overcrowding leads to steaming, not frying.
- Internal Temperature: For food safety and optimal texture, ensure your fries reach a crispy exterior. While internal temperature isn't typically measured for fries, visually they should be golden brown and firm.
- Season generously: Add extra seasoning like garlic powder, paprika, or even a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese after cooking for an extra flavor boost. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
