Tips and variations for these frozen fries in air fryer:
- Depending on the model of your air fryer you may need to adjust the cooking times slightly.
- Depending on the size of the French fries you use, you may need to adjust the cooking times slightly – 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.
- 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.
- Feel free to add other seasonings 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 crinkle fries, McCain brand fries and more.
If you have a basket style air fryer:
Preheat the air fryer to 400F, 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.

I love serving them with my air fryer frozen hamburgers!
That depends on the fries you use. If you use fries that haven’t been pre-seasoned or pre-oiled I do recommend it.
