What Are Waffle Cut Fries?

Waffle-cut fries were made famous by Chick-Fil-A. They’re a type of French fry that is cut into square-shaped slivers with a criss cut pattern. The fast-food chain popularized this style of cutting potatoes for French fries. They continue to be very popular today and can be found at many other restaurants and served at home with various meals.

But frozen food manufacturers caught on quickly, and suddenly there were frozen types available in the grocery store. Some of the most common brands you will see at the grocery store are Alexia, Sam’s Club, McCain, and store brands that now carry them.

It’s only natural that folks started making waffle fries in air fryer. It’s the easy way to fry, without any excess grease.

The average time is about 15 to 20 minutes. Remember to shake your basket frequently during cooking, so you get a great batch of air fryer waffle fries!

How Do You Reheat Waffle Fries in Air Fryer?

Place leftover air fryer frozen waffle fries into the air fryer basket and set the temperature to 350 degrees F. Set to the air fryer setting and heat for about 5-6 minutes.

If you want them crispy, give them a quick spritz of olive oil or other high-heat cooking oil.

You don’t need to add more oil after air frying. But if you want your air fryer frozen waffle fries to be extra crispy and greasy in flavor, then go ahead with spraying before air frying!

Why Are My Air Fryer Frozen Waffle Fries Soggy?

Make sure to follow the temperature and cooking time instructions as seen on the recipe card below carefully. If you end up with soggy results, you likely didn’t air fry your frozen waffle fries long enough at the correct temp. 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees F should do the trick!
