Air Fryer to Oven: The Best Ways to Cook Frozen Fries

The Many Ways To Cook a French Fry…

I fully recommend cooking french fries…

• In the oven
• Using a frying pan on the stove top
• In an air fryer

But I do not recommend trying to cook frozen fries in the microwave. They turn out mushy every single time (unless you have the ones that come in a special package and are specifically formulated for cooking in the microwave.

TO COOK FROZEN FRIES IN A SKILLET

• First heat oil at a depth of ¼ inch in the bottom of your skillet over medium high heat.
• When the oil is glistening hot and when a drop of water spatters loudly
• Add a large handful of frozen fries to the oil
• Cook until the amount of crispiness that you prefer
• Dip from the oil with a slotted spoon or spatula and drain on a paper towel
• Apply salt and pepper while draining.
• If you prefer less oil, you may wish to follow the instructions in the recipe card below.

TO COOK FROZEN FRIES IN AN AIR FRYER

Air Fryer recipes: 

• Spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray
• Put in the fryer frozen french fries in the amount that your fryer basket will allow (handful) in a single layer
• Cook the Fries at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes. 15 minutes should be about perfect!
• Shake the basket well during cooking at least once.
• Cooked Fries turn out golden and delicious!

A VERSE TO SHARE

Have you ever gotten lost while driving to a new place and felt absolutely panicked? Boy, I have! It happens less and less now because of my trusty GPS, but I can recall that panicked feeling easily if I just think about it for a second.

Did you ever consider how many stories in the Bible there are about people who are “lost”? Think about that for a second.

Paul, Moses and Noah certainly felt lost.

Seriously, it is a major theme. 

When I put the two together, my feeling of panic when I’m lost with all the stories of those who are lost in the Bible I think God is trying to me something.

God is the answer for LOST PEOPLE! 

Thank goodness, He is after all, the Good Shepherd!

Luke 15: 3-7

Then Jesus told them this parable: “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent
