- Top with green onions. If using, drizzle with brown gravy and top with sour cream. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Thicker fries may need more time, thinner fries may need a bit less time. Appliances can vary but it is easy to check on the fries a couple of minutes early and add more time if needed.
- To make frozen fries in the air fryer, cook several smaller batches. Cook each batch at 390°F for 10 to 14 minutes or until crisp. Once ready to serve, add all fries to the air fryer basket reheat for 2 to 3 minutes. Top with cheese and bacon and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
