Air Fryer Bacon Cheddar Fries

You have to try these loaded cheddar fries in your air fryer. Go nuts on the toppings or make some loaded nacho fries. For easy cleanup, place some tinfoil on the bottom of your air fryer. It’s no fun cleaning up melty cheese from the air fryer or burnt cheese. Gross. 

Frozen french fries were the first food I learned how to cook in my air fryer and I’m never cooking them any other way. I’ve been using 350 degrees and 12 minutes for a lot of frozen food for quite some time now. 

Ingredients for Loaded French Fries 

Frozen french fries  - I used the Ore Ida Crinkle Cut fries but any type of fry will work. 

Cheese - Top with your favorite type of cheese. 

Bacon  -  Use pre-cooked bacon that’s been already chopped. I used the microwave bacon that takes 1 minute to cook. Can do the same time for air fryer. 

Other toppings - Add your favorite nacho toppings like taco seasoned ground beef, nacho cheese sauce, chopped tomatoes, scallions, pico de gallo, or sour cream.
