Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large Russet potatoes (or sweet potatoes for variation), peeled and cut into fries
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel your potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized fries to ensure uniform cooking. Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve a crisp exterior.
  2. Dry and Season: Drain and thoroughly pat dry the fries with a clean towel. Toss them gently in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until every piece is well-coated.
  3. Air Fry to Crispy Perfection: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the fries in a single layer inside the basket, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
  4. Add Parmesan and Parsley: Once the fries are golden and crispy, transfer them to a large bowl and immediately toss with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for an irresistible garlicky, cheesy finish.

Notes

  • Cut fries evenly to avoid some pieces overcooking while others remain underdone.
  • Always preheat your air fryer for the crispiest results.
  • Cook fries in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding and ensure crispiness.
  • Grate your own Parmesan cheese right before tossing to maximize flavor and melting.
  • Shake the fries halfway through cooking to promote even browning.
