Recipe Notes
Air Fryer Fries Tips:
- Check the size of your air fryer basket first before adding lots of fries--you want to keep space for the air to circulate during air frying.
- Any brand of frozen fries, any shape and any size would work--just adjust cooking time.
- Spray the fries and then season them so the flavors stick to the fries.
- You can also use pre-seasoned fries instead and skip the seasoning part.
- Don't over fill your air fryer basket, you need room for shaking !
- We prefer basket type air fryers compared to toaster style ones.
- Make sure to shake your air fryer basket three times during air frying to make sure the heat is well distributed for even crisp.
- If you want extra crispy fries, you can spray them generously before air frying and add 1-2 minutes more of cooking time.
