If you’re going to make something basic like frozen french fries at home, you might as well turn them into something special. You’d think making french fries in the air fryer would be as simple as following package directions. Trust me, it is not. If you put frozen french fries into your air fryer for as long as you do your oven, you’re going to get rock hard fries that aren’t even edible. Both temperature and time need to be adjusted for air fryer frozen french fries. And because I’m missing going out to eat at the moment, I turned these into drool-worthy Garlic Parmesan French Fries.

How to Cook Frozen French Fries 

My package of french fries said to bake them at 450 degrees. So as a general rule, I’d lower the air fryer temperature by 50 degrees for cooking french fries. With my brand of air fryer, these fries were done (crispy on the outside, still soft on the inside) in about 14 minutes. Check them at about 12 minutes and go from there to make sure you don’t over-fry your fries.

    The french fries are really lovely, with butter, garlic, and Parmesan. It’s way better than your average french fries for sure.

      The key is to not over cooking them. They can get way TOO crispy!
