Instructions for how to make Air Fryer Frozen French Fries
Making these fries is as easy as it gets. It just takes a little air frying, then you add the toppings. That's it.
Preheat air fryer basket for 5 minutes at 380 degrees F. Place French friends into a single layer in the basket.

Set the air fryer to 380 degrees F for 25 minutes.
Halfway through cooking, open the air fryer and shake the basket, returning the fries to a single layer as best as you can.

Place the fries back into the air fryer to cook the remaining time.
When cooking is complete, remove the fries and place them onto parchment paper. Place the parchment paper and fries into the basket.
Top with cheese and bacon and return to the air fryer at 380 degrees F for 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Remove from the air fryer and place onto a plate. Top with ranch dressing and chopped chives.
Hint: Be sure to shake your fries halfway through cooking for even doneness.
