Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes if you prefer skinless fries, or leave the skin on for extra texture. Slice the potatoes into evenly sized fries to ensure they cook evenly.
  2. Season the fries: Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until every fry is well coated for even crisping and seasoning.
  3. Air fry to perfection: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the fries in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook the fries for 15 to 18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning, until they are golden and crispy.
  4. Add the finishing touch: Once cooked, transfer the fries to a large bowl while still hot. Immediately sprinkle the fries with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley so the cheese slightly melts onto the fries. Toss gently to combine and serve right away.

Notes

  • Soak sliced potatoes in cold water for 20-30 minutes before air frying to remove excess starch and achieve extra-crispy fries.
  • Pat the potatoes dry thoroughly after soaking; excess moisture prevents crisping.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for best results.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese rather than pre-shredded for better flavor and texture.
  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of paprika or red pepper flakes with the seasonings.
