Get That Restaurant-Quality Crisp You Crave At Home: McCain Launches New Air Fryer Lineup

From craving to the ultimate crisp in 10 minutes or less, the new McCain Air Fryer lineup is specifically designed for the popular countertop appliance.

TORONTO, Oct. 14, 2026 /CNW/ -- McCain Foods is excited to announce the launch of its new McCain Air Fryer lineup, crafted to deliver restaurant-quality crispiness straight from the air fryer.

The air fryer has completely transformed how Canadians approach everyday meals, popularized for its speed, compact size, and crispy results. It's no wonder that they've become such a popular cooking method for french fries.

While all McCain french fries cook up beautifully in an air fryer, the new Air Fryer lineup is designed specifically for the popular appliance to deliver a restaurant-style crispiness and crunch without having to leave the house or watch the clock count down for your delivery to arrive.

The Air Fryer lineup includes:

• McCain Air Fryer Thin Crisps: Bringing a julienne cut to the McCain fry family, these extra-thin fries are optimized for the air fryer to deliver that crunch we all know and love in just 10 minutes.

• McCain Air Fryer Tater Crisps: Reimagining the classic potato tot with a shape unique to McCain, these bite-sized potato crisps are crafted for air fryer perfection. Featuring crispy golden edges with a light and fluffy interior, McCain Air Fryer Tater Crisps satisfy your cravings in just 9 minutes.

"We know there's nothing quite like the craving for hot, crispy fries. With our new McCain Air Fryer lineup, we're helping Canadians satisfy that craving with restaurant-worthy fries at home, in just 10 minutes." says Mike Embir, Senior Marketing Director, North American Retail, McCain Foods.

When the craving for golden, crispy fries hits, it can be impossible to ignore. But thanks to the new Air Fryer lineup, McCain is closing the gap between craving and crunch.

From your social feeds to your favourite playlists and outdoor spaces, McCain is 'fryjacking' everyday moments to prove that when the insatiable hunger for some crispy fries strikes, nothing else matters--and now, you can satisfy those cravings in just 10 minutes.
