How to Make Frozen French Fries in Air Fryer
First, preheat the air fryer at 400 degrees F for 3-5 minutes.
Then spray the air fryer basket with a little bit of oil. This will help to prevent sticking.

Next, place the frozen French fries into the air fryer basket of the preheated air fryer. Do your best to arrange the fries in a single layer, and do not overcrowd the basket.

How Long To Cook French Fries in the Air Fryer
Close the air fryer lid, select the air crisp function, set the temperature to 400 degrees F, and set the time. The cook time for making frozen fries in the air fryer will range between 17-20 minutes.
The times may vary and be a little different for different brands of air fryers. For the first time making this air fryer frozen fries recipe, you will need to keep an eye on the fries and adjust accordingly for your air fryer.
The main secret to making extra crispy fries is to shake or toss the fries continuously through the cooking process.

I use these orange silicone heat-resistant gloves to handle the air fryer basket so that I can shake it without getting burnt. You can find them online here: heat gloves.

For best results shake or toss the frozen French fries every 3-5 minutes.
After about 17-20 minutes your delicious fries are done. If you feel your fries need more time then add another 2-3 minutes of cooking. The edges of the fries will be a crisp golden brown.
Air Fryer Frozen French Fries
When finished you can sprinkle the fries with a little salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or everything bagel seasoning if you’d like. Or you can leave them as is and enjoy.

Serve your French fries with your favorite dipping sauce, or ketchup.

These crispy air fryer fries are the perfect easy side dish. They are so much healthier than deep frying, and a nice alternative to oven baked fries.

If you are interested in reading labels, and the ingredients in your food then I feel compelled to tell you that traditional Heinz ketchup contains high fructose corn syrup. I can never understand why. So if you would like a healthier option for ketchup check out Primal Kitchens unsweetened ketchup. You can find it online here: ketchup.
