Ingredients

  • 16 ounce bag of frozen French fries
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
  • Add the frozen fries to the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  • Air fry them for about 10 minutes, turning them halfway through the cook time. They are done when they're crispy and hot.

Notes

  • Times to cook different types of fries:
    • Waffle Fries – 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees F
    • Sweet Potato Fries – 7-8 minutes at 400 degrees F
    • Crinkle-Cut Fries – 12–15 minutes at 400 degrees F
    • Curly Fries – 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees F
    • Steak Fries – 10-15 minutes at 400 degrees F
  • Preheat the air fryer before adding the frozen fries so they turn out extra crispy.
  • Cook the fries in a single layer so they crisp up properly. Cook in batches, if needed.
  • Turn the fries halfway through cooking for even crisping on all sides.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in a preheated air fryer at 400 degrees F for 3 to 5 minutes until they're crispy again.
