Equipment

  • Air fryer

Ingredients

  • 12 oz frozen waffle fries
  • teaspoon salt optional
  • teaspoon pepper optional
  • baking spray optional

Instructions

  • If necessary, lightly spray the inner basket of the air fryer with baking spray to prevent sticking.
  • Arrange frozen waffle fries in even layers within the air fryer inner basket, but do not crown the basket more than half full.
  • Sprinkle the waffle fries with salt and pepper, and close the air fryer.
  • Cook the waffle fries for 10-12 minutes, removing the basket and giving it a shake and the fries a toss halfway through.
  • Add an additional few minutes if you desire crunchier waffle fries.
  • Once they are done to your liking, remove them from the air fryer basket and serve with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

Crispy Air Fryer Waffle Fries Tips
  1. Don't overdo the oil spray, if you are using it on the inner basket or even lightly over the waffle fries for extra crispiness, because too much will create too much moisture and make them all soggy. 
  2. Don't overcrowd the basket. Roughly a 4-5 quart basket shouldn't exceed 10-12 ounces of frozen fries per batch, and a full bag of frozen fries would require a large 10-12 quart basket, although they should be split into two batches for crispier results.
  3. Shake and toss the basket of fries once or twice through cooking time to evenly disperse the heat and crisping effect.
