Ingredients

• 1 serving (or more) Kirkland Frozen Fries (shoestring, crinkle-cut, or steak-cut)

• Optional:

  • Olive oil spray

  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder, or seasoning salt

  • Dipping sauces like ketchup, aioli, or cheese sauce

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and preheat for 3–4 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Fries

• Add frozen fries to the air fryer basket in a single layer

• Lightly spray with oil (optional) to enhance crispness

• Do not overcrowd—this ensures maximum airflow and even browning

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

• Cook at 400°F for 10–14 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through

• Thin-cut fries may be done closer to 10 minutes, while thicker cuts may need up to 14 minutes

• Fries are done when they’re golden, crispy, and heated through

Step 4: Season and Serve

Sprinkle with salt or seasoning of choice immediately after cooking for best flavor.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Shake Halfway Through

Gives all the fries even exposure to hot air, preventing soft spots.

Use a Light Oil Spray

A quick mist of oil before cooking helps with extra browning and crispiness.

Don’t Overfill the Basket

Airflow is key—cook in batches if needed for best texture.

Serve Right Away

Fries are crispiest straight from the air fryer—eat them hot!
