How to Prepare Air Fryer Frozen Smiley Fries
These frozen smiley fries are so easy to make thanks to the air fryer!
All you need for this recipe is a bag of frozen smiley fries, such as McCain.
Add the smiley fries to the air fryer basket, trying to place in one layer as much as possible. If you want to make a lot and your air fryer is on the small side, you should do a second batch. Otherwise they will not become very brown or crispy if piled on top of each other.
Set the air fryer temperature to 400F for 14 minutes.
Now you can sit back and let the air fryer cook while you focus on something else or relax!
When done, remove with a spatula to a serving plate.
Let cool slightly before serving to children.
Don’t forget the ketchup! Yum!
