💭Frequently Asked Questions
This recipe is best enjoyed right away, and we don't recommend making it in advance. However, if you need to save it, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Gently reheat in the air fryer or oven. Do not freeze.
No, we wouldn't recommend this. You should start with cooked fries, as frozen fries will take too long and become mushy, while the rest of your ingredients will be overcooked.
Your waffle fries act as your pizza crust and no one likes mushy pizza crust.
Nope! Just like your favorite pizza order, customize it to your heart's content. All we recommend is to start with cooked fries and layer up from there. Change the cheese, the proteins, the seasonings, and the toppings to your liking, and enjoy!
