How To Air Fry Ore Ida Golden Fries

Arranging frozen fries in the air fryer basket with an optional spray of cooking spray.

Step One: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200°C), for 3-5 minutes.

Step Two: Spread the frozen fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Optional: Lightly spray the fries with cooking spray.

Step Three: Set cook time for 10-15 minutes. It’s important to shake the basket every 5 minutes or so to ensure the fries are cooked evenly. Check the fries for doneness. They should be golden brown and crispy. If not, continue to cook, checking every 1-2 minutes.

Step Four: Once cooked to your liking, carefully remove the fries from the air fryer (the basket will be hot), season if desired, and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Air Fryer Ore Ida Golden Fries Recipe Tips

  • Do not overcrowd the basket: Fries cook best when air can circulate around them freely.
  • Shake the basket: Remember to shake the basket every few minutes to help the fries cook evenly.
  • Preheating is key: Preheating your air fryer can help achieve a crisper exterior and ensure the fries cook more evenly.
  • Adjust cooking times: Different air fryer models may require slightly different cooking times.
  • Season after cooking: If you want to add extra seasoning to your fries, do so right after they come out of the air fryer.
  • Serve immediately: Like all French fries, Ore-Ida Golden Fries are best when they’re hot and fresh out of the fryer.

Storing

  • Storing: Leftover fries can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 hours. For longer storage, place them in an airtight container or zip-top bag and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat cold fries in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes, or until heated through and crispy. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through and crispy.

Air Fryer Ore Ida Golden Fries Recipe Faqs

Do I need to preheat my air fryer? While not absolutely necessary, preheating your air fryer can help the fries cook more evenly and become crisper. It’s recommended for the best results.

Do I need to use oil or cooking spray on the fries? Ore-Ida Golden Fries already contain some oil, so additional oil or cooking spray is unnecessary. However, a light spray can help achieve an extra-crispy result.

Can I stack the fries in the air fryer? It’s best to arrange the fries in a single layer for even cooking. Stacking or overcrowding can lead to unevenly cooked and less crispy fries.

How long does it take to cook Ore-Ida Golden Fries in an air fryer? Cooking times can vary based on different air fryer models and the number of fries, but generally, it takes about 10-15 minutes at 400°F (200°C).

Can I season the fries before cooking them? You can, but it’s usually better to season them right after cooking. The heat helps the seasoning stick to the fries.
