Ingredients

Table of Contents

  • 1 pound frozen crinkle cut fries (store-bought)
  • Cooking spray (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Air Fryer

  1. Preheat: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare Fries

  1. Arrange Fries: Place the frozen crinkle cut fries in the air fryer basket. If you want extra crispy fries, lightly spray them with cooking spray.
  2. Avoid Overcrowding: Arrange the fries in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

Step 3: Air Fry the Fries

  1. Cook: Air fry the crinkle cut fries at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
  2. Check for Crispiness: Check the fries at the 15-minute mark. If they are not crispy enough, continue to cook them in 2-minute increments until they reach your desired level of crispiness.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Season: Once cooked, remove the fries from the air fryer and season them with salt or your favorite seasoning while they are still hot.
  2. Serve: Enjoy the fries immediately with ketchup, mayonnaise, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips and Variations

  • Seasoning Options: Experiment with different seasonings such as garlic powder, paprika, or parmesan cheese for a flavorful twist.
  • Homemade Crinkle Cut Fries: If you prefer making your own crinkle cut fries, slice potatoes into crinkle cuts, soak them in water for 30 minutes, pat dry, and follow the same cooking instructions.
  • Double-Batch Cooking: If you’re making a larger batch, keep cooked fries warm in a low oven (200°F/93°C) while you finish air frying the rest.
