    Why You Will Like Air Fryer Frozen French Fries

    Frozen French Fries are simple to make in the air fryer. Just like any other frozen food item like Air Fryer Arby’s Curly Fries, Air Fryer Alexia Sweet Potato Puffs, or Air Fryer Frozen Vegetables.

    Frozen french fries are just as great as fresh vegetables in the air fryer. All they need is a little oil and salt. You can omit the salt and pepper if you want because sausage has a ton of flavoring on it’s own.

    While you're waiting for your frozen french fries to cook on the stove or griddle the air fryer is an excellent tool to use to help with getting food faster on the table.

    Ingredients Needed for Air Fryer Frozen French Fries

    • 1 bag of frozen crinkle cut french fries
    • 2 teaspoon of vegetable oil or olive oil spray
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • seasoning of choice - I love Dano's seasoning
    • Equipment:
    • Air fryer
    • parchment paper
    • Tongs or a spatula

    How to Make Air Fryer Frozen French Fries

    Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

    Step 1 Place some parchment paper down in your air fryer basket and add the frozen french fries. They do not need to be thawed.

    Step 2 Season with salt and pepper and then use a cooking spray.

    Step 3 Set the timer for 10 to 12 minutes. And close the basket.

    I have two air fryers. The Cosori 4 Qt Air Fryer and Ninja Woodfire Grill which is an outdoor air fryer. It’s pretty awesome! It has 5 different functions on it.

    Recipe Tips!

    1. Preheating ensures that the fries cook evenly and achieve the desired crispiness.
    2. Avoid Overcrowding: Cooking in smaller batches will help the fries cook more evenly and get crispier.
    3. Shaking the Basket: Shaking the basket halfway through cooking helps ensure that all the fries cook evenly.
    4. Experiment with Seasonings: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or Cajun spice to add an extra kick to your fries.
    5. Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic, whatever! Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container.

    Notes

    I wouldn't typically store air fried french fries to have for the next day. I always make them in small batches. However, I have saved french fries from a restaurant and have heated them up the next day in the air fryer.

      Sorry about that, I use a template and just had forgot to change sausage patties (previous recipe) to frozen french fries.

      this is so confusing. it says fries then says sausage patties... etc. please rework your page and recipe. for those wondering about frozen fries, I make my own ( most air fryers have the French fry option too!) but here's my recipe for store bought fries:
      *place half a bag (accordingly ex. Size of air Fryer and bag itself!) in airfryer, you can use foil, liners, or rack if it came with one
      *season with Lawrys seasoning salt or David's kosher salt to your liking, no need for oils no need to preheat but keep the option on preheat so that when it "beeps" you know to shake!
      *Set timer to 395°F for 12mins
      * after preheat timer shake, wait til @5mins and shake again
      *test crispyness @2mins left, add additional minutes if you want them crispier!
      Enjoy!
