Ingredients

11 oz 312g Frozen Curly Fries (1/2 small bag)
Spray oil optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C/ 400°F.
Place your frozen curly fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. A little overlapping is fine.
Air Fry for 9 minutes, shaking once halfway through.
After 9 minutes check the fries are cooked to your liking. If you like them crispier, add another minute or two of cooking time on.
Serve immediately with your favorite dips.

Notes

Experiment with Seasoning: While these frozen fries often come seasoned, there's no harm in adding a sprinkle of black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, chili powder, or any of your favorite seasonings after they come out of the fryer. Just toss them in a large bowl with your chosen seasoning and serve.
Can Fresh Curly Fries Be Made in the Air Fryer? Yes, you can make fresh curly fries in an air fryer! Begin by spiralizing your potatoes into the desired curly shape. Soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat them dry. Season as you like, and remember, with fresh fries, the cooking time might be shorter. Keep a close eye on them to ensure they don't overcook and turn too brown.
Storage: After you've feasted, make sure any leftover fries have cooled to room temperature. Place the cooled curly fries in an airtight container. This keeps moisture out and ensures your fries stay as fresh as possible. If you don't have an airtight container, a resealable plastic bag with the air squeezed out works as a good alternative. They store well for 1-2 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
Reheat: When you're ready to enjoy them again, don't just microwave them—that'll make them soft. For best results, air frying them at 200°C/ 400°F for 2-3 minutes to bring back the crispiness. Alternatively, a conventional oven preheated to the same temperature, spread on a baking sheet, will also do the trick.
