Last Updated on January 2, 2023 by Cheryl Moreo

Air Fryer Schwan’s Quick Bake Frozen French Fries

We are addicted to Schwan’s Frozen Quick Bake French Fries. We loved them baked in a regular oven. But, they are even more delicious fixed in an air fryer. Nothing crisps up french fries making them creamy inside like an air fryer. My family loves this recipe.

Recipe Tips

• Preheat the fryer with the tray/basket inside.
• Place the frozen french fries in an even layer. Be sure to leave some space between the fries and that they are in a single layer.
• Don’t overfill the tray or basket.
• Midway through cooking, don’t forget to shake the basket or give the fries a quick toss a few times.
• There are 2 pounds of fries in a Schwan’s bag. I use about a quarter of the bag for the two of us. You must work in batches or fill the second shelf in the Vortex if you need a larger quantity.
• No need to spray oil on the fries.

Notes

There are 2 pounds of fries in a Schwan’s bag. I use about a quarter of the bag for the two of us. You must work in batches or fill the second shelf in the Vortex if you need a larger quantity.

Depending on how many fries I have put on the tray, it usually takes 12 minutes for proper crispness. But, I always start with 10 minutes.

Disclaimer: every Air Fryer is different in temperature and cooking times. Experiment when using your Air Fryer to make fries.
