Ingredients
- 1 pound (454 g) frozen french fries
- Kosher salt or sea salt , to taste
- ground black pepper , to taste optional
Equipment
Instructions
- Place the frozen fries in air fryer basket and spread them evenly over the basket. You don't need to spray extra oil.
- Air fry the frozen fries at 400°F for about 15 minutes (about 10 minutes for thin cut fries). About halfway through cooking, shake the basket and gently turn the fries. Try not to break them. For crisper, evenly cooked fries, turn them multiples times while cooking.

Notes
- No Oil Necessary. Cook Fries Frozen - Do not thaw first.
- Shake several times for even cooking & Don’t overcrowd fryer basket.
- If cooking in multiple batches, the first batch will take longer to cook if Air Fryer is not already pre-heated.
- Recipes were cooked in 3-4 qt air fryers. If using a larger air fryer, the recipe might cook quicker so adjust cooking time.
- Remember to set a timer to shake/flip/toss the food as directed in recipe.
If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).

This is honestly the best way to cook frozen French fries. It’s also a lot healthier than using traditional oil.
Yeah, we’re obsessed with how delicious they are with hardly any oil.
Why didn’t I think of this before?! It’s so much easier to cook on the air fryer! No more oil splats on me!
Best with ketchup those who don’t know! Lol love the writer of this recipe blog. Thank you for air fryer time on fries.
Hi Misty! Thanks so much for visiting and enjoying our recipes. 🙂
Amazing results! Just got our Tidy Life Air Fryer this week. Did wings last night and fries today. I added 3 minutes to the time and put in the wings to re-heat. It worked great. I already like this appliance more than I thought I would, brussels sprouts are next to try! I’m making your website a ‘favorite’!
I want to get started. Recommendations for an air fryer?
Tried the fries after seeing this. Oh my how delicious
Thank you for sharing! Just bought my air fryer and looking forward to make some french fries.
I just bought a Farberware Air Fryer Toaster Oven. The frozen french fries took longer to cook for me. I had to air fry them for 20-25 minutes at 400F before they were browned to my liking.
Hi Edward, thanks for the feedback! Yes, the toaster oven style is usually bigger and will take a little longer to cook. Fries vary in thickness too, so it’s always good to keep checking to make sure it’s good to your liking.
Can I make fried eggs in air fryer
Yes! Just click on the “air fryer recipes” link on the homepage of the website. You’ll see an air fryer egg category or you can also view the air fryer breakfast category.
Your timing was great and mine turned out great. When i made the second batch they cooked a little quicker probably cause the air fryer was already hot.
