There’s nothing quite like a plate of hot, crispy fries — golden on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. Thanks to the air fryer, you can enjoy that restaurant-quality crispiness without the excess oil from deep frying. And when you use crinkle cut fries, you get even more surface area for crunch and seasoning — a win-win!
Whether you’re making them from frozen or fresh, air fryer crinkle cut fries are quick, easy, and absolutely irresistible.
