Ingredients
- Frozen Steak Fries: 1 bag (select your preferred brand for best results)
Instructions
- Prep: Determine your desired portion size and place the frozen steak fries in your air fryer basket or tray. For tray models, use the middle rack position for even cooking.
- Air Frying: Set your air fryer temperature to 380°F (137°C) and cook for 22-25 minutes. The exact time may vary based on your air fryer model.
- Mid-cook Shake: Around halfway through the cooking time, pause and give the fries a good shake or stir. This ensures even crispiness on all sides.
- Serve: Transfer the hot, crispy fries to your serving plate and pair with your favorite dipping sauce for the perfect finish.
Cooking Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Fries
Hey there! Want super crispy steak fries? Space them out in your air fryer basket – don’t overcrowd! A single layer works best, giving each fry room to get golden and crunchy. If you need to cook more, it’s better to do multiple batches than pile them up. When you shake the basket halfway through, give it a good shake to help them cook evenly.
Tasty Dipping Ideas
Let’s talk about making these fries extra yummy! Classic ketchup is great, but why not try something fun? Ranch dressing adds a cool, creamy twist. Love spicy food? Mix some mayo with sriracha sauce. My personal favorite is garlic aioli – just mix mayo with crushed garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice. You can also sprinkle some parmesan cheese on hot fries for an instant flavor boost!
Quick Seasoning Ideas
While these fries are tasty plain, a little seasoning can make them amazing! Right after cooking, while they’re still hot, try:
- A shake of garlic powder and parsley
- Some cajun seasoning for a spicy kick
- Salt and black pepper – simple but perfect
- A sprinkle of ranch seasoning powder
The heat helps the seasonings stick better to the fries!
Storage Tips
These fries taste best fresh from the air fryer! But if you have leftovers, pop them in an airtight container in the fridge. To reheat, just put them back in the air fryer at 380°F for 3-4 minutes – they’ll crisp right up again. Try to eat them within 2 days for the best taste.
