Frozen French fries definitely deserve more consideration than they get. If you cook them properly, there is a good chance that they will taste as great, if not better, than fresh French fries. Best of all, you can make them in four different ways.

Oven

The oven is the easiest way to cook frozen French fries. Just line a baking sheet with parchment paper and unload your fries on it. Then add some salt and olive oil, mix them thoroughly, and disperse them evenly across the baking sheet. Pop the frozen French fries in a preheated oven at 425F and bake them for 30 minutes. Remember to toss them at half-point.

Stove

You can also fry your frozen French fries on your stove. Take a large pot and fill it 3 to 4 inches with neutral-tasting oil. Heat the oil to 325F and then lower the fries in it. Let them fry for around five minutes or until they get golden brown. Take them out, place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil, and enjoy.

Air Fryer

Finally, an air fryer might be the most convenient way to cook frozen French fries. Salt your batch of frozen French fries and sprinkle with some olive oil before loading them into the air fryer. Cook for 10 minutes at 400F. Remove the air fryer basket, shake the fries, and then pop them right back in for another five minutes or so. That’s it.
