Cooking Checkers (or Rally’s) fries in an air fryer is a simple and convenient way to enjoy crispy and delicious fries. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to cook them:
Ingredients:
- Frozen Checkers fries
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This preheating step ensures that the fries cook evenly and get crispy.
- Prepare the Fries: Take the frozen Checkers fries out of the packaging. You can cook as many fries as you like, but avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Add to the Basket: Place the frozen fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You don’t need to add any oil to the fries, as they’re already coated with a thin layer of oil for cooking.
- Cooking Time: Cook the fries in the preheated air fryer for about 15-20 minutes. Keep in mind that cooking times may vary based on the size and model of your air fryer, as well as the desired level of crispiness.
- Shake or Toss: About halfway through the cooking time (around 7-10 minutes), pause the air fryer and shake or toss the fries in the basket. This helps ensure that all sides of the fries cook evenly and become crispy.
- Check for Doneness: Check the fries for your preferred level of crispiness. If you like your fries crispier, you can cook them for a few extra minutes. Keep in mind that the cooking time might need to be adjusted based on the amount of fries you’re cooking.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the fries are cooked to your liking and are crispy and golden brown, carefully remove them from the air fryer using tongs. Serve the hot and delicious Checkers fries immediately.
- Seasoning (Optional): You can season the hot fries with salt or any preferred seasonings while they’re still warm. This step ensures that the seasonings adhere well to the fries.
Note: Remember that cooking times are approximate and can vary based on your air fryer’s model and the thickness of the fries. It’s a good idea to monitor the fries as they cook to achieve the perfect level of crispiness.
