Ingredients
Ingredients
- 16 ounces frozen crinkle fries (such as Ore-Ida)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F and allow it to preheat before cooking to ensure even crisping.
- Add fries to the basket: Place the frozen crinkle fries into the air fryer basket in a single layer as much as possible, avoiding overcrowding to allow hot air to circulate properly.
- Cook the fries: Air fry the fries for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking and crispness. Adjust cook time based on how crispy you like your fries.
- Serve: Carefully remove the basket and let the fries cool slightly before serving. Optionally, season with salt or your favorite seasoning when shaking halfway through cooking.
Notes
- No additional oil is necessary as frozen fries generally contain sufficient oil for crisping.
- You can add salt or other seasonings during the halfway shake for enhanced flavor.
- Cooking time may vary depending on air fryer model and desired crispness.
