    If you haven’t made frozen fries in an air fryer, you’re missing out! Air Fryer Frozen French Fries come together quickly and effortlessly and are perfectly crispy every time.

    One of the first things I’ve ever made in the air fryer is frozen french fries. I’m pretty sure one of the selling points of the air fryer was how you can get crispy fries without having to deep fry them and once I got an air fryer, all my friends were asking how fries came out! The air fryer 100% lived up to the hype and I’ve been using it to make frozen fries ever since!

    I was sharing that I had made from french fries in an air fryer on IG stories when I had a DM asking how I made mine and I realized I never actually made a post about it. I would always just toss fries in the air fryer and call it a day. So today, I’m sharing on the blog how I make mine :)

    Why Use an Air Fryer to Make Fries?

    • It’s fast! I pop the fries into the air fryer basket and it’s done in less than 20 minutes. There’s no need to empty my oven of the 100 sheet pans in there and then pre-heat the oven.
    • It’s so crispy. The fries are so crispy thanks to the air fryer! These air fried french fries from frozen become so crispy without adding extra oil. Yup, no need to spray them with oil before air frying!
    • It’s an easy recipe you almost don’t need a recipe. Since the air frying time of the fries depend on the thickness of the frozen fries, you’ll have to play around with the time but my sweet spot is always 15 minutes.

    Ingredients You’ll Need

    • frozen fries — my go-to frozen fries for the air fryer are Cavendish Farm’s FlavourCrisp® Crispy Classic Straight Cut. I almost threw out my back lifting their 8.8lb bag to my shopping cart and regret nothing.

    How to Make Frozen French Fries in Air Fryer

    • Frozen french fries in the air fryer.
    • French fries in an air fryer basket.
    • Add the frozen fries to the air fryer basket.
    • Air fry the fries for 10 minutes at 400F. Shake the air fryer basket. And air fry for another 5 minutes or until they’ve reached your desired level of crispiness.

    Recipe Tips and Notes

    • Do not add parchment to the basket as it’ll block the flow of hot air that makes the the frozen fries super crispy.
    • Do not thaw the fries before air frying.
    • Got leftovers? Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat it at 350F for 3 to 4 minutes.
    • The air fryer I have fit up to 2 bags of frozen fries. I usually just put in as much as I feel like eating. Feel free to put as much or as little as you want!
    • Season with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper while it’s still warm or enjoy it as is.
    My Recommendation
    This is the air fryer I use. I love how large this air fryer is! It can fit a whole chicken or 2 bags of frozen French fries!
