Craving those delicious, salty, and crispy french fries but want a healthier option? Look no further! Air frying is the perfect solution for guilt-free indulgence. These air-fried frozen french fries taste just like your favorite fast food fries but with much less oil. They’re a healthier alternative without compromising on taste.
What Size Air Fryer is Best for French Fries?
The size of the air fryer can significantly impact the cooking results. If you want to achieve crispy, golden french fries, it’s essential to find an air fryer with a large capacity that allows you to cook in a single layer.
Cooking fries in a single layer ensures even heat distribution and prevents overcrowding, which is crucial for getting that perfect crispiness.
Initially, finding an air fryer with a large capacity in one layer was challenging because many models on the market focused on increasing height to expand cooking space. However, this approach is flawed. Single-layer cooking is key to achieving the best results, as it allows for even air circulation around each fry, ensuring they cook uniformly and become perfectly crispy.
But now, we have the Typhur Dome air fryer, which features a dome-shaped design inspired by professional pizza ovens. This breakthrough innovation has made it possible to cook large quantities of food faster and more evenly, surpassing all other traditional air fryers on the market and setting a new technical standard in the category. It can even cook a 12-inch pizza in one batch.
The Typhur Dome air fryer’s unique design ensures even heat distribution, allowing for perfectly cooked, crispy fries every time. With its large capacity and advanced technology, it’s the ultimate solution for all your air frying needs.
Ingredients Needed for Air Fryer Frozen Fries
Making delicious air fryer frozen fries requires only a few basic ingredients that are easy to find and prepare:
- Frozen French Fries: Any brand of frozen french fries will work. You can choose straight-cut, crinkle-cut, or shoestring fries based on your preference.
- Salt: Basic table salt or sea salt for seasoning.
- Cooking Spray (Optional): Just to help the salt stick to the fires.
- Optional Seasonings: Enhance the flavor with additional seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or your favorite seasoning blend.
How to Cook Frozen French Fries in Air Fryer
- Preheat Your Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 345°F/175°C and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures the fries cook evenly and get crispy results.
- Prepare the Fries
Spread the frozen fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking. If desired, lightly spray the fries with cooking oil for extra crispiness.
- Cook
Air fry the fries for 10-20 minutes (shoestring fries: 12 minutes; crinkle cut/waffle fries: 15 minutes). Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure all the fries cook evenly. Depending on the thickness and type of fries, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
- Season
Once the fries are done, immediately season them with salt or your favorite seasoning while they’re still hot. This helps the seasoning adhere to the fries better.
