Instructions

Step 1

Air fry your frozen french fries according to the package's instructions. If your package doesn't have any, Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Air fry them for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions, sugar, and salt, stirring well to combine. Cook the onions for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn a deep golden brown and become tender. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine all the special sauce ingredients. Whisk until fully combined, and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 4

Place the hot air fryer fries on a serving plate, platter or tray. Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the fries, allowing the heat to melt the cheese slightly.
