Description
These fries are easy and fast to make. They are the perfect way to put a little bit of magic into your meal. They might be frozen French fries, but by adding a bit of spice, you now have the perfect side dish that can take your meal from amazing to WOW!
Ingredients
- 6 ounces frozen French fries
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, put your French fries in a bowl.
- Pour 1 tablespoon over the French fries and mix to coat.
- Add smoked paprika and garlic powder and mix with your hands until coated.
- Sprinkle Kosher salt if you want to add a hint of salt.
- Once all fries are coated with the seasoning, put in the air fryer basket.
- I have a Cosori 5,8 QT, and I use preset Frozen food (snowflake), so the temperature is 350 degrees F, and it cooks for 15 minutes.
- *NOTE* I shake the basket every 5 minutes.
- Plate, serve, and enjoy!
Equipment
- Cooking Spray
- Parchment Paper, optional
Notes
INGREDIENTS SUBSTITUTION
- French fries: You can substitute them with any frozen French fries you like. Just keep in mind that if you take thicker fries, your cooking time may vary.
- If you don’t have garlic powder, onion powder can be used instead.
SKILLS
- I have an air fryer with a basket, so every 5 minutes, it is easy for me to shake it for 2 or 3 seconds. If you don’t have one, use a spatula to move them around. By doing this, it allows the fries to cook more evenly.
- I use half the bag because putting too many fries will not allow the fries to cook properly as the air is restricted to properly cook all the fries.
