Air Fryer Frozen French Fries
Hot, golden frozen french fries made in the air fryer in just 15 minutes. No thawing needed and no extra oil required.
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen french fries (any cut)
- Salt (to taste (optional))
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the frozen fries straight from the freezer to the air fryer basket. Do not thaw them first.
- Spread the fries in an even layer. Do not overcrowd the basket. Cook in batches if needed.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes.
- At the 7 to 8 minute mark, shake the basket to help the fries cook evenly.
- When the fries are golden and done, remove them from the basket and serve immediately with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the basket. Cook in batches for the best results.
- Check fries at 12 minutes if your air fryer runs hot. Add 2 to 3 minutes if they need more color.
- Thick fries like steak fries may need 18 to 20 minutes total.
- Serve immediately for the best texture. Fries soften quickly once they cool.
- To reheat leftovers, air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 3 to 4 minutes.
