    Frozen french fries: I used Ore-Ida crinkle cut but you can use any different brands or type of frozen fries: steak fries, curly fries, waffle fries are also great cuts.

    Seasoning blend of choice: I went with a garlic parmesan popcorn seasoning, the sky's the limit for seasoning.

    🔪 Instructions

    1. Place frozen fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Season with your choice of seasoning and place basket or trays in the air fryer. Cook for 7 minutes.
    2. Remove basket from air fryer and give it a quick shake. Return to the air fryer and cook for 5 minutes, until fries have a crispy exterior and are golden brown.
    3. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

    🥫Storage

    Store leftovers in an airtight container the fridge up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 5 minutes, or until hot.

    📖 Variations

    • Feel free to season with your favorite seasonings. In place of the garlic parmesan seasoning you could use a combination of salt, garlic powder, onion powder, or umami seasoning.

    💭 Tips

    • Whether you are using a basket style air fryer or one with trays, be sure to lay the fries out in a single layer to ensure the hot air circulates around the french fries fries.
    • Remember if cooking different types of fries, the cooking time will vary. Thicker fries will take longer to cook so you will want to add a few extra minutes.
    • Shaking the basket or rotating the trays in the air fryer is important to do part way through cooking, just to be sure that all sides are getting browned evenly.
    • There is no need to hit the air fryer basket with oil spray as the frozen fries are already coated with oil.
