Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs frozen French fries (regular or crinkle-cut)

Spicy Ketchup (Optional)

  • 6 tablespoons ketchup

  • 2 teaspoons horseradish

Instructions

  • Air fry the fries:
    Place the frozen French fries directly into the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

  • Make the spicy ketchup:
    While the fries are cooking, mix the ketchup and horseradish in a small bowl until well combined.

  • Serve:
    Remove the fries once crispy and golden. Serve hot with the spicy ketchup for dipping and enjoy!

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd: Cook in batches if your air fryer basket is small to get extra-crispy fries.

  • No thawing needed: Always cook fries straight from frozen.

  • Extra crisp: Add 1–2 extra minutes if you like your fries well done.

  • Season after cooking: Salt or season fries once they’re hot for best flavor.
