Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 28 oz bag Frozen french fries
  • 1 salt optional
  • 1 pepper optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 380F
  • Pour frozen french fries into air fryer basket. Make sure the fries aren't too crowded, no more than two fries deep.
  • Place basket back tinto air fryer and cook at 380F for 8 minutes
  • Remove air fryer basket and shake in order to flip the fries. Place basket back into air fryer and continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Immediately sprinkle with salt and pepper if using and serve.

Notes

  1. Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the fries, ie. shoe string will cook faster than wedges. If you fill the basket too full and there isn't enough hot air circulation in the air fryer your fries will cook slower and will not be as crispy on the outside.
  2. Be sure to add the salt and pepper right after cooking. The hot oil on the fries helps the salt and pepper stick to the fry.
