Equipment
- Skillet
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 pound Frozen French Fries
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This step is crucial as it ensures that the fries cook evenly and achieve that golden crispy texture. The preheating process typically takes a few minutes, so it’s worth the wait.
- Once the air fryer is preheated, lightly spray the inside basket with non-stick cooking spray. This helps prevent the fries from sticking to the basket, making cleanup a breeze and ensuring they cook evenly.
- Add the frozen French fries to the basket. Spread them out evenly using tongs so that they have ample space to cook properly. You want to avoid overcrowding the basket.
- Cook the fries for 10 minutes. This initial cooking time will start to crisp them up. Make sure to set a timer so you don't lose track.
- After 10 minutes, open the basket and shake the fries to turn them. This is an essential step to ensure that they cook evenly on all sides.
- Cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes more, checking every 5 minutes to shake the fries and check for doneness. Depending on your air fryer model and the thickness of the fries, the total cooking time may vary slightly. You're aiming for a perfect golden brown color.
- Once they are done, serve immediately with ketchup, mayo, or any of your favorite sauces. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and dig into that first delicious fry!
Notes
- Tip 1: Opt for high-quality frozen fries for better texture and flavor.
- Tip 2: Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure optimal crispiness.
- Tip 3: Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the fries.
