How to Cook Frozen Air Fryer French Fries
Let’s get started with the cooking process:
Preheat: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400 degrees F.
Arrange: Next, place the frozen french fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. For that extra crispiness, give them a quick spray of olive oil.
Cook: Cook the fries for 10 minutes at 400 degrees F. After the initial cooking time, give the basket a shake to ensure even cooking. Continue cooking for another 8 to 10 minutes, depending on your desired level of crispiness.
Serve: Once your fries are cooked to perfection, it’s time to serve them up! Pair them with your favorite dipping sauce. My kids can’t get enough of tomato ketchup!
