Actifry Air Fryer Crinkle Cut Fries Recipe

A yummy crinkle cut fries recipe, it’s something I’ve wanted to make for a while now and I’m so glad I did! I got a crinkle knife for Christmas and since then (1 month) I’ve used it three times! It’s fun and makes the crinkly cut fries a little bit tastier!

I would just like to point out that these are homemade air fryer crinkle cut fries and not air fryer frozen crinkle cut fries. I see loads of recipes for the frozen type however if I was going to use frozen I’d probably just throw them in the oven and leave them. These are made from scratch with potatoes.

Everyone has a favourite type of chip or fries that’s for sure. I like these crinkle cut fries the best although my other half loves curly fries, something I’m yet to make but keep your eyes peeled! That being said this Moroccan Air-Fried Chips Recipe is one of the most popular recipes on my blog so take a look at that!

How To Make The Best Crinkle Cut Fries?

Now I would say good quality potatoes are needed but really you can use any potatoes that you want as long as they aren’t falling apart. You will need a pretty decent Crinkle knife if you’re going to make this crinkle cup chips recipe.

I know some people freeze their chips after they’ve made them, hence why there are a lot of air fryer frozen crinkle cut fries recipes around however I didn’t freeze mine. I just put them straight into the air fryer and cook them and I find their shape still holds well as you can see.

An alternative would be that you could just go to the shop, buy some crinkle cut fries already made up and just put them in the air fryer although personally, I don’t like that option because I have no idea what’s been done to the fries beforehand which is why I like my homemade Crinkle Cut Fries Recipe.

Homemade Crinkle Cut Fries Recipe Tips

If you’re making these air fryer Homemade Crinkle Cut Fries Recipe there’s a few things I’d recommend doing just to make them a little tastier. You can add any spices or herbs that you want although personally I just like good old fashioned salt and pepper on mine.

When it comes to How long do you air fry crinkle cut fries? It all depends on thickness. With mine that you can see in the picture, they took 25-30 minutes which was perfect because it gave the burgers enough time to cook, however, if yours are thinner they may need less time.

Do I need to preheat my air fryer to cook french fries? Good question. Personally, I don’t do this, I find it doesn’t really add to the overall performance of my crinkle cut fries, however swear down that you MUST do this so it’s all personal preference.
