Air Fryer Curly Fries
Save time and calories with the air fryer curly fries that are ready in under 15 minutes. These golden, crispy spirals of potato goodness are a staple at fast-food restaurants, but you can enjoy them from the comfort of your own home with an air fryer. These frozen curly fries made in an air fryer not only taste just as delicious as their deep-fried counterparts, but they're also healthier since they require no oil.
Equipment
- air fryer 8 Qt
Ingredients
- 11 oz Frozen curly fries (311g) (half bag)
- Cooking spray (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. Just operate the air fryer with an empty basket for 5 minutes.
- Spread the frozen curly fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not add the whole pack at once. Overcrowding will prevent them from being crispy. So it is ideal to make only half of the pack at a time. If you have a smaller air fryer basket consider making one-third of the 22oz bag at a time.
- If desired, lightly coat them with cooking spray to help them crisp up even more.
- Place the basket inside the air fryer and cook for 12-13 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Shake or toss the basket halfway through cooking time to ensure even browning.
- Remove the air-fried curly fries from the air fryer basket and serve them with your favorite sauce.
Notes
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket as this will result in uneven cooking. Overcrowding will prevent them from being crispy. So it is ideal to make only half of the pack at a time. If you have a smaller air fryer basket consider making one-third of the 22oz bag at a time.
- Remember to shake or stir occasionally during the cooking time for more uniform browning.
- For added flavor variations you can sprinkle some garlic powder, paprika, chili lemon, etc.
- You can use a tad bit of oil if you want to make them really stand out.
