Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces frozen french fries
  • non-stick cooking spray
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Spray the bottom of the air fryer pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Dump frozen fries into the bottom of the air fryer pan.
  • If desired, lightly spray fries with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Sprinkle fries with salt and toss to coat all the fries.
  • Set air fryer to 400 degrees. Set timer for 16 minutes, stirring fries half way through.
  • If you want your fries even more crispy, cook for a few more minutes (I like my fries to be really crispy, so I usually cook them for 20-22 minutes).
  • Add more salt if desired. Serve and enjoy!
