Tips for the Best Air Fryer Frozen Fries

• Shake it up: To make sure your fires all get crispy and cooked evenly be sure to toss them gently half way through. You’ll want to rotate the bottom to the top and move them around. You can shake them up more than once, if you’d like. Some air fryers rotate, but you’ll still want to check and see how they’re doing half way through.
• Don’t Overfill:  For frozen fries you don’t want to fill your air fryer more than half to ¾ full. You do not have to put frozen fries in a single layer, but you for do not want to over crowd the basket. You may end up with undercooked fries.
• Crispier:  Depending on the thickness and type of fry you use, you might need to increase or decrease the cooking time. The longer you cook the fries, the crispier they will become.

Different types of Fries

There are several types of fries and so they will cook a bit differently. These are good suggestions for starting times.

• Crinkle-Cut/Waffle Fries: 10-11 minute
• Sweet Potato Fries: 16 minute
• Lattice Cut Fries:  10-11 minute
• Shoestring Fries: 8-10 minute

How to Serve Air Fryer Frozen French Fries

These french fries are going to be so tempting you may not need to worry about serving them with sauces. They’ll be gone before you can get them out of the basket. But if you can keep the fingers out of the air fryer, there are many ways to serve these frozen french fries. Ketchup is the original sauce that was made for french fries, but there are other sauces to dunk these air fryer fries in.

• Fry Sauce: This amazing sauce was solely invented to go with french fries. It’s a grown up version of ketchup and it is divine. In my home it has replaced ketchup and mayo on hamburgers even. It’s so good!
• Yum Yum Sauce: This popular sauce is light, sweet and tangy! An excellent choice!
• Cheese Sauce: Cover the golden fries in a rich thick cheesy sauce that’s going to knock your socks off.
• Ranch Dressing:  As my kids would say, everything’s better with ranch dressing!
• Make your Own Sauce: Mix your favorite spices with a bit of mayo and ketchup to create a unique sauce of your own. Add chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder with mayo and ketchup for a spicy western sauce that’s awesome. There are lots of possibilities.
