    Why reheat fries in the Air fryer?

    The air fryer is the best place to reheat foods that you want to stay crispy and taste like the fresh. That’s why it comes to mind when I think of reheating fries, tater tots and pizza.

    It doesn’t take time and the fries won’t get soggy like it does when reheated in the microwave.

    How to reheat Fries in the air fryer. (McDonalds and other leftover fries)

    Put your left over French fries or sweet potato fries in the air fryer basket. No need to preheat the air fryer and no need to spritz with oil.

    Air fryer at 400°F / 204°C for 3 - 4 mins that’s it! Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce

    Tips

    • Do not overcrowd the basket if reheating a large batch in order for the fries to warm up evenly.
    • Shake the basket half way through cooking time.
    • Remember the fries are already cooked. Keep an eye on it while reheating so you don’t get too crispy or burnt.
