Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs bag frozen French fries (any style: shoestring, crinkle, steak fries, etc.)

Spicy Ketchup

  • 6 tablespoons ketchup

  • 2 teaspoons horseradish

Instructions

  • Place frozen French fries directly into the air fryer basket.

  • Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.

  • While fries cook, combine ketchup and horseradish in a small bowl until smooth.

  • Once fries are golden and crispy, serve hot with spicy ketchup on the side.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd: Cook in batches if needed so fries crisp instead of steaming.

  • Extra crispy: Add 1–2 more minutes of cooking time if you prefer a darker crunch.

  • Season after cooking: Sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, or seasoning blends once fries are hot.

  • Oil optional: Most frozen fries already contain oil, but a light spray can boost crispiness.
