Description

Crispy and flavorful Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Fries made from fresh russet potatoes, tossed with olive oil, garlic powder, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. These fries are a healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried versions, delivering perfect golden crispiness and a delicious herbaceous finish with fresh parsley.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 large russet potatoes

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them evenly into fry-sized sticks to ensure uniform cooking. Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch and help achieve extra crispiness.
  2. Dry and Season the Fries: After soaking, thoroughly pat the fries dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove moisture. Toss the fries with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Air Fry the Fries: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Spread the fries out in a single layer in the air fryer basket to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket halfway through to ensure even browning and crispiness.
  4. Add Parmesan and Parsley: Once the fries are golden and crispy, transfer them to a large bowl. Immediately sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley, tossing gently so the cheese melts slightly and coats every fry.
  5. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Serve the fries fresh from the air fryer while they are hot and crispy. They pair well with your favorite dipping sauces or as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • Soaking the fries in cold water removes excess starch, helping achieve crispiness.
  • Pat fries completely dry before air frying to prevent sogginess.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even cooking.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan works best for melting and flavor, but pre-grated can be used in a pinch.
  • Serve immediately for best texture, as fries can lose crispiness when cooled.
