Do you like waffle fries? I LOVE waffle fries. I get the frozen bags of waffle fries and then cook the waffle fries in the air fryer whenever I want something crispy, crunchy, and easy.

And you can do so many things with them! Serve with a simple dipping sauce or use as a base to make a really creative dish!

Recipe notes

  • Cook time may need to be altered depending on your particular air fryer or how many fries you add to your air fryer basket.
  • The waffle fries do not need to be sprayed with oil, but I do recommend preheating your air fryer before adding the fries.

How to customize the air fryer waffle fries

These air fried waffle fries can be customized in so many ways. I love to just serve with a dipping sauce (ideas below), or top them in a variety of ways. Here's a few ideas.

Top with your favorite seasoning - Peri-peri seasoning, some smoked paprika, or some garlic powder and herbs are all tasty ways to top the waffle fries.

Air fryer waffle fry nachos - Top with some cheese, ground beef, and fresh cilantro to create your own waffle nachos.

Air fryer waffle fry poutine - Top the air fried waffle fries with some cheese curds and a delicious gravy.

Air fryer cheesy garlic waffle fries - Top with some melted cheese or parmesan cheese and some sautéed garlic.

Dipping sauce ideas

  • Bang bang sauce
  • Homemade chipotle mayo
  • Cumin lime ketchup

What to serve with the waffle fries

The waffle fries are delicious served with a lot of different foods. Here are some ideas.

Main dishes - Air fryer bbq chicken thighs, air fryer crispy chicken thighs, air fryer boneless pork chops

How long do you cook waffle fries in the air fryer?

Waffle fries will cook in the air fryer for 7-9 minutes. However, depending on your particular air fryer, and how many waffle fries you add to the air fryer basket, cooking times may need to be adjusted.

Do you need to spray with oil before air frying?

You do not need to spray the waffle fries before cooking. The waffle fries typically get crispy enough without any added oil.

However, I do recommend preheating your air fryer for 5 minutes before adding the waffle fries.
