• They taste just like deep fried fast food French fries, but are so much healthier for you! You can use this cooking method for all different types of fries including frozen crinkle cut fries, Mccain fries, Trader Joe’s fries and more!
• Frozen fries in air fryer are so easy to make and are ready in just 15 minutes.
• The clean up is super simple because they’re made in your air fryer.
• French fries are gluten free, dairy free, vegan and paleo!

Ingredients:

• A bag of frozen French fries – Any brand will do including frozen Orieda fries, frozen Mccain fries, frozen Trader Joe’s fries and more! I prefer to use unseasoned French fries so that I can add my own seasonings afterwards but feel free to use pre-seasoned frozen fries. Not that depending on the size of your air fryer you may not be able to cook the entire bag of frozen French fries at once. 
• Optional seasonings – depending on the French fries you use you may want to add your own seasonings afterwards such as salt, pepper, seasoning salt etc. 

How to cook: 

Step one:

First, place the frozen french fries on the tray of your air fryer and then cook them for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step two:

Next, transfer the cooked fries to a bowl, spray them with a little oil and then sprinkle them with salt and pepper and toss the fries evenly to coat. Note, if you used pre-seasoned fries you can skip this step. 

If you have a basket style air fryer: 

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, then spray the basket with a little oil. Then cook the frozen French fries for ~20 minutes, tossing half way through to ensure they cook evenly.

Chef’s tips:

• Depending on the model of your air fryer you may need to adjust the cooking time. 
• Depending on the size of the French fries you use, you may need to adjust the cooking time – for larger fries, increase the time, for smaller fries or shoestring fries, decrease the time.
• You can adjust the cooking time depending on how crispy you like your fries. For softer fries, decrease the time. For crispier fries, increase the cooking time.
• Depending on the size of the bag of French fries you buy, you may need to cook the fries in batches. 
• I do not pre-heat my air fryer when cooking these frozen French fries. If you do, decrease the cooking time by a few minutes.
• If you have leftover cooked French fries, store them in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. 

Variations and add ins:

• Feel free to add other seasonings to frozen chips in air fryer such as seasoning salt, dill, garlic powder, onion powder or bbq seasoning to give the fries a different flavour. 
• If the fries you buy are pre-seasoned and pre-oiled, you may not need to use any spray oil or add any salt or other seasonings. I would taste them after they are cooked and see what you think.
• This method for cooking frozen French fries in an air fryer will work for many different types of fries including frozen crinkle fries, frozen waffle fries, frozen crinkle cut fries, frozen curly fries, frozen steak fries, frozen McCain brand fries, checker fries and more.

How to reheat: 

If you have leftover cooked French fries, simply reheat them in your air fryer for 1-2 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit when you are ready to eat them.
