Don't tell my local chip shop but I think I prefer their chips after they've had an appointment with the air fryer! That's no slight on the quality of their chips, they're delicious but Chippy Chips in the Air Fryer just hit differently - they're the crispiest, most delectable chips you could hope for - just don't call them fries!
If your air fryer requires pre-heating, start this setting now.
Unwrap your 400g of Chip Shop Chips, It doesn't matter if there are scraps etc mixed in the chips, they'll reheat and crisp up too.
Tip the chips into the air fryer basket.
Cook for 10 minutes at 200c/390f.
Give the basket a shake after 5 minutes, especially if the chips are in more than one or two layers.
To Cook From Frozen
Cook for 12 minutes at 200c/390f.
Notes
The air fryer version of this recipe is tested in a Cosori Lite (CAF-LI401S) with a 3.8 litre capacity. The square(ish) shaped basket is 21cm x 21cm and 24cm on the diagonal.
Not all models advise preheating is required. Please follow the recommended instructions for your model. Mine has a specific preheat setting which is 4 minutes at 205c.
For this recipe, I can just fit 400g leftover chips in the basket at a time. This gives just enough room to allow air to circulate.
As all air fryer models are a little different, you may find that you can fit more or less in at a time. Some models include stacking shelves which will increase capacity.
Required cooking times and temperatures can also vary between models and brands. If you know that your air fryer runs a little hotter than most recipes suggest, use a lower temperature. And vice versa. Equally if you find that food cooks more quickly in your machine than instructions usually state, reduce the cooking time (or check it earlier) and vice versa.
