🍟 What Makes This Recipe So Good

  • How to reheat fries in the air fryer is such a great go-to recipe to keep on hand! Leftover fries tend to get soggy and even reheating them in the oven doesn’t make them taste the same as they did before. That’s where the air fryer comes to the rescue! In just a few minutes, they’re crispy, golden, and perfectly tender inside. They’ll taste just like they did when you first ordered them!
  • Reheating fries in the air fryer is a quick and easy side dish for any meal! Pair them with delicious air fryer chicken patties, crispy baked chicken wings, or even frozen burgers in the air fryer. The pairing possibities are endless with these deliciously crispy fries! Even the pickiest of eaters will be excited for this side dish.

👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips

  • Be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket! Too many fries layered on top of each other will result in uneven cooking. If you have a lot of fries, work in batches to cook them perfectly!
  • You can totally add some seasoning to your leftover fries! Add a sprinkle of paprika or cajun seasoning for some spice. Spritz a little bit of cooking spray on top of them for an even crisper flavor!
