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.

These frozen waffle fries are so quick and easy to make in the air fryer. And they always come out perfect. Hot, with just the right amount of crunch.

I love to make these waffle fries as a side dish for so many meals, and frequently pop some in to cook for my kids.

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 we do recommend preheating your air fryer before adding the fries.

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.
