Ingredients
Equipment
Steps
- 1
Place frozen fries in the air fryer basket — no need to thaw or add oil.
- 2
Air fry at 400°F for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes for even crisping.
- 3
Check at 15 minutes — thin fries cook faster, thick-cut or crinkle-cut may need the full 18.
- 4
Season immediately while hot. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tip: Don't overcrowd the basket — a single layer with slight overlap is fine, but piling them deep means soggy fries in the middle. Cook in batches if needed.
