How to Make Delicious Rally’s Fries in an Air Fryer

Making delicious Rally’s fries in an air fryer has never been easier. With this simple recipe, you can recreate the famous fast-food taste while also getting to experience the optimum health benefits of using an air fryer. Let’s dive right in and learn everything you’ll need to know to make your own Rally’s-style fries.

What You’ll Need

In order to make your Rally’s-style air fryer fries, you will need the following items:

• Air fryer
• Frozen french fries
• Canola oil
• Rally’s Original Fry Sauce
• Optional toppings/sauces (e.g. ketchup, mayonnaise, etc)

In addition to the items listed above, you will also need a bowl to mix the fries and oil together, and a plate or tray to serve the fries on. You may also want to have a few paper towels on hand to help with any messes.

Preheat the Air Fryer

Before we get started, the first step is to preheat the air fryer for about 3 minutes on 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the air fryer is set to the right temperature for your Rally’s-style fries.

It’s important to preheat the air fryer before adding the fries, as this will help them cook evenly and ensure that they are crispy and delicious. Additionally, preheating the air fryer will help to reduce the cooking time, so you can enjoy your fries sooner!

Prepare the Rally’s Fries

Before you put the frozen french fries in the air fryer, you’ll need to prepare them first. Pour a tablespoon of canola oil over the fries and mix them in a bowl so the oil coats them evenly. This will ensure the fries are properly cooked and get that crispy texture that makes Rally’s fries so delicious.

Once the fries are coated in oil, spread them out in the air fryer basket. Make sure the fries are in a single layer and not overlapping. This will help them cook evenly and get that golden-brown color. Set the air fryer to 375°F and cook the fries for about 15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.

Place the Fries in the Air Fryer

Once you’ve preheated your air fryer and prepared your fries, it’s time to pop them in. Spread a single layer of fries into the air fryer basket and be sure not to overcrowd it. This will ensure that all the fries get crisp and evenly cooked.

If you’re using frozen fries, you may need to cook them for a few minutes longer than fresh fries. You can also add a bit of oil or butter to the fries before cooking to give them an extra crunch. Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and enjoy!

Cook the Fries

Now it’s time to cook those fries! Close the air fryer lid and set the timer for 10 minutes on 375 degrees Fahrenheit. When the timer is done, open the lid and you’ll be presented with crispy golden brown fries — just like from Rally’s!

Before serving, be sure to season the fries with your favorite spices or condiments. Salt and pepper are always a classic combination, but you can also try garlic powder, paprika, or even a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Enjoy your delicious homemade fries!

Serve with Optional Toppings and Sauces

It’s time to enjoy! You’ll want to serve your Rally’s-style air fryer fries with a generous helping of original fry sauce — or whatever toppings or sauces you’d prefer. Some great ones to choose from are ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, and BBQ sauce.

You can also get creative and try out some unique topping combinations. For example, try mixing ketchup and mayonnaise for a tangy and creamy flavor, or mix BBQ sauce and mustard for a smoky and spicy kick. The possibilities are endless!

Tips for Best Results

• Be sure not to overcrowd the basket of your air fryer. This will ensure the fries get cooked evenly.
• Feel free to add spices, herbs, or seasonings to your fries before cooking if you’d like a custom flavor or added kick.
• Make sure to cook your fries at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for best results. Any hotter and they might burn.
• If you’d like extra-crispy fries, cook them for an extra 2 minutes.

Clean Up Afterward

Once you’re done with making and enjoying your tasty Rally’s-style air fryer fries, it’s time to clean up. Make sure to thoroughly unplug your air fryer from the outlet and allow it to cool down before you start cleaning it. Be sure to wipe it down with a damp sponge for best results.
