We absolutely love using our air fryer. It is a great, convenient way to heat up frozen foods, without additional effort or oil. Also, when preparing meals from scratch it is a great way to help cut some calories and still enjoy crispy, delicious, golden brown food.

I am a busy Mum of 2, who loves a hot meal, and sometimes I just want to indulge in a little junk food, without the expense of Uber Eats or Deliveroo! If you REALLY want to up the ante then enjoy these alongside an air fryer grilled cheese for the ultimate cheesy delicious meal OR serve on the side of air fryer frozen chicken nuggets.

Knocking up these cheesy chips in the air fryer are a great way to hit the spot when I’m craving some junk food, but don’t want to go all out on the spending, or the calories. Also, using the air fryer allows these cheesy chips to be made in record time – perfect when I’m craving something salty and delicious!

Ingredients for air fryer cheese fries:

400g chips of your choice – I often make air fryer chips, but this recipe is based on using frozen french fries or frozen chips. For best results I love to use steak cut frozen chips. They have a large surface area and so they can hold lots of cheese!

30g finely grated cheddar cheese – or other cheese of your choice. Mozzarella would work really well, and give you that wonderful cheese pull too!

10g parmesan or pecorino

1/8 tsp salt

Method for air fryer cheesy chips:

Pre-heat your air fryer to 180C.

Add your frozen chips to the air fryer basket.

Cook for 8 minutes.

Shake, turn up to 200C and cook for a further 6 minutes.

Shake the chips.

Add the grated cheddar and parmesan or pecorino.

Cook for a further 2 minutes. When they are golden brown you’ll know it’s ready for serving!

Sprinkle on salt, to taste, and serve.

What chips do you put in an air fryer?
