How To Cook Checkers Fries In Air Fryer
The only ingredients you need are
- 1 bag of frozen checkers fries (They also can be called Rally’s fries depending on where you live)
- Air Fryer
Avoid mistakes with these quick tips before starting
- I understand you may be short on time but do not crowd the checkers fries in air fryer. To get the super crispy fries the air needs to be able to get through the fries. If you crowd them they could become soggy instead of crispy.
- Preheat the air fryer, this will avoid any sticking since the fries are going in frozen. The fries should easily release from the air fryer without any parchment paper or anything.
Making the checkers fries in air fryer
- First, preheat the air fryer to 400F.
- Then, remove the checkers fries from the bag and place a handful in the air fryer basket. Do not crowd them, leave some space for the air to move between the fries. Depending on the size of your air fryer you can easily fry one serving.
- Now, air fry for 7 minutes. Remove the basket and give the fries a shake. Make sure they move around really good.
- Place the basket back in and cook a remaining 7 minutes.
- Air fryer times do vary because the wattages are different but the fries should be crispy and done in 15 minutes or less.
- Remove the cooked checkers fries and serve.
Reheating and storing air fryer checkers fries
You can easily reheat the fries in the air fryer at the same temperature but less time. The fries will come out just as crispy. Cut the time in half first. Then, work your way up slowly in time if needed.
You can store leftover fries in the refrigerator for 4-5 days because there are preservatives in the fries to help them last longer. You can even refreeze them if you’d like.
