How to Make Air Fryer Crinkle Cut Fries
Making crinkle cut fries in the air fryer is a breeze. Just follow these steps:
Step 1: Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
Step 2: Place a single layer of frozen crinkle fries in the air fryer basket. Some overlap is okay.
Step 3: Cook for 6 minutes, then shake the basket, so they are evenly cooked.
Step 4: Cook for at least 6 more minutes and up to 10 more minutes, depending on your desired level of crispiness.
The cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer and the fries themselves. For Ore Ida crinkle fries in a 5-8 quart air fryer, 12-16 minutes usually does the trick. However, it’s always a good idea to test them around the 12-minute mark to see if they’re done to your liking. If they need a bit more time, simply let them cook until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
Tips for Extra Crispy Crinkle Cut Fries
If you like your crinkle cut fries extra crispy, here are a few tips to achieve that perfect crunch:
- Cook the fries for an additional 7-10 minutes after shaking the basket.

- Ensure that the fries are in a single layer in the basket to cook them evenly. If using a large 5-8 quart air fryer, half a 32-ounce bag should be enough for one batch.
