Ingredient List

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon from 1 container (6.25 oz) Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix
16 oz (4 cups) frozen French-fried potatoes (from 32-oz bag)
1 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese (4 oz)
1/2 medium avocado, pitted, peeled and diced (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup diced tomato
2 tablespoons sliced green onions (2 green onions)
2 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves

In small bowl, mix Seasoned Sour Cream ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
In large bowl, mix oil and 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix. Add frozen potatoes; toss to coat. Pour mixture into air fryer basket. Set to 400°F; cook 22 to 26 minutes or until crispy, shaking basket every 5 minutes.
Transfer to microwavable serving plate. Top with cheese. Microwave uncovered on High 30 to 90 seconds or until cheese melts. Top with avocado, tomato, green onions and cilantro. Serve with seasoned sour cream.

Air fryer temperature control settings vary according to brand and model. If your air fryer does not have the exact temperature setting called for in the recipe, consult your manual for suggested temperature settings.
Make it your own! Use different taco toppings, or be lazy and skip the cheese and toppings entirely. The plain taco fries make a perfect side for tacos, burritos and more.
Shaking is essential to crispy fries. When food touches in the air fryer basket, it cannot crisp fully, so it must be shaken or turned often.
Our recipes do not call for preheating your air fryer. Just set the temperature, and start. Never preheat with parchment paper alone.
