Air Fryer Frozen French Fries

---

Cooking french fries in the air fryer is so easy! Find out how to cook frozen fries in an air fryer so you can have deliciously crispy fries in under 20 minutes.

Deep fried fries trump baked fries any day, but they're so unhealthy. And then you have to let the oil cool down and clean that up. Then you have to clean all the parts of the deep fryer.

Ugh.

Too. Much. Work.

So when we finally got an air fryer, it helped us step up our fry cooking game.

Seriously, air fryer french fries are the bomb! They're so good.

They end up all crispy and perfectly dippable, which is totally a made up word, but you know what I mean. You don't want to dip some poor soggy excuse for a fry into ketchup, right? Those fries need to stand up with some confidence.

So...How Long Do You Cook Fries in The Air Fryer For? Not Long, My Friend. Not Long.

Twenty minutes. That's all the time you need to cook fries in an air fryer. Maybe less if you don't want your fries to be too crispy.

There's no waiting for the oil to warm up like deep frying requires. Instead, you only need to warm up the air fryer for a couple of minutes. Yep, a couple of minutes worth of prep. That's what I'm talking about!

You simply fill up the basket with the desired amount of fries and follow the instructions below. Then you'll have deliciously golden and crispy fries ready for dipping.

Let's zoom in on that deliciousness...POW!

Now, what if you simply want to reheat fries in the air fryer?

Well, then reduce the cooking time to just 2-3 minutes for reheating.

Again, it depends on how crispy you want your fries to be. So just pause and check frequently until the fries reach your desired level of crispiness like this bowl of goodness.

Then watch them disappear so quickly into the bellies of your offspring. Hey, those were my fries!
