How to cook frozen chips in an Air Fryer
We recommended wiping the bottom of the basket with a slight bit of oil to avoid any slight chance of sticking but this shouldn’t happen, this can depend on how big the portion of chips is that you are cooking and how big your air fryer is, if you cook a small portion of chips in a big air fryer, there is a small chance they could stick to the basket depending on the heat settings.
Method:
1. Place your portion of frozen chips in a single layer into your air fryer basket. Try to avoid stacking as it blocks the heat and stops all of the chips from cooking evenly.
2. Preheat your air fryer to 400F and cook the chips for 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of your chips.
3. When halfway through, pause the timer on your air fryer and remove the basket and give it a good shake, this will help to promote an even temperature which will ensure all of the chips are cooked evenly.
4. Remove your basket from the air fryer and that's it, your nice tasty golden brown chips are ready.
Add your favourite sauces, salt, spices or anything else and enjoy your air fried chips.
