Frozen Waffle Fries in Air Fryer

Air Fryer Frozen Waffle Fries are the best way to make a great side dish. All you need are waffle cut fries, and your favorite dipping sauce. The air fryer takes over and does all the work.

While I'm a fan of making homemade waffle fries, sometimes I just don't have time for that. The hot air of the air fryer makes air frying these tasty potatoes a treat! Forget regular fries - and give me a big ol' batch of waffle fries!

What I love most about waffle-cut fries is that they have a big surface for all my favorite dipping sauces! Every single time that I make them, I can't believe how they're the perfect snack.

How to make Frozen waffle fries in the Air Fryer 

NOTE: I make this recipe in my Cosori 5.8 qt. air fryer or 6.8 quart air fryer. Depending on your air fryer, size and wattages, cooking time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes.

Variations

Use a different type of frozen fries - You can make any type of fries easily in the air fryer. Sweet potato waffles fries, potato wedges, curly fries, and even tater tots are a few delicious options.

Add seasonings - Even if you're going to use your favorite dips, you can still add black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and a little salt! Quick snacks like these fries are easy to season.

How to Serve

If you want to plate up the best waffle fries with a crispy crunch, pay close attention to the cooking process on the recipe card! This will give you the best results. You then just have to plate, dip, and eat!

If you have kids, don't forget that fries pair perfectly with mac & cheese, hot dogs, and burgers, too!

How to Store

If you have a large amount of fries remaining, save them! Let the leftover waffle fries cool down, and then store them in an airtight container. You can then reheat them in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to get back that extra crispy waffles fries texture.

Even reheated, they'll taste as if they came from the deep fryer - but you'll know better!

FAQs

How do I get extra crispy fries?

To make the best waffle fries, you need to have fewer fries in the air fryer basket. If you don't have them in a single layer, they aren't going to get as crispy. They will still be delicious, but they just won't have that crunch that you might be hoping for.

For crispier fries, you can use less oil in the air fryer and still get that crispy texture! It's actually quite easy to make extra crispy waffle fries when you cook them in the air fryer.

What foods pair well with these perfect air fryer waffle fries?

This is one of those easy recipes that everything pairs pretty well with! It's an easy side dish that pairs well with burgers, chicken tenders, chicken nuggets, and more. And if you're like me, you just might want to enjoy a giant stack of fries all on its own!

What are some fun toppings to add to waffle fries?

Fries and topping go together almost as well as peanut butter and jelly! You can add shredded cheese, bacon, chives, cilantro, sour cream, jalapenos, and more!

You can also use a bed of waffle fries to create a giant platter of mimic nachos! The more toppings that you can pile on, the better!
