Air fryer frozen crinkle fries are quick and easy to cook. I feel that an Air fryer is the best way to cook frozen fries. It is great in the oven too, however, the air fryer cuts the cooking time in half and makes the fries ultra-crispy, with a soft center, golden brown, and crunchy to perfection.

How to cook air fryer frozen crinkle fries in the air fryer.

1. Place the frozen crinkle fries in the air fryer basket or tray. Spread out evenly. Usually, no oil spray is needed. Just go straight from the freezer to the air fryer and cook on the air fry setting.
2. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. I found that most frozen fries have already been seasoned.
3. Cook in an even layer. Some fries overlapping is ok, but do not overfill the air fryer basket/tray. They will cook more evenly and faster if the basket is not overfilled with fries and if the fries are not piled up on top of each other.
4. Preheat the air fryer to 400F/200C for 2 minutes.
5. Place the frozen fries onto a tray/air fryer basket
6. Air fry mode for 8 minutes, flipping or shaking halfway through.
7. If the fries are extra-large or thick-cut, add an additional 2 minutes or until it’s browned and crisp to your liking.
8. Serve with your favorite dip. I love to serve mine with homemade Chipotle sauce or my kids love homemade copycat chick-fil-a sauce.
