Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 3 large russet potatoes

Seasonings & Coating

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes (peeling optional for extra texture). Cut into even sticks about 1/4 inch thick to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
  2. Soak and Dry the Fries: Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. After soaking, dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to prevent soggy fries.
  3. Season the Fries: In a bowl, toss the dried fries with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Make sure each fry is well coated for maximum flavor and crunch.
  4. Air Fry to Crispy Perfection: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place fries in a single layer in the basket without overcrowding. Cook for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
  5. Add the Cheese and Herbs: Once fries are golden and crisp, immediately sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and dried parsley over them, allowing the cheese to slightly melt from the heat.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Fries hot. Pair with your favorite dip or enjoy them straight from the basket!

Notes

  • Cut fries evenly for consistent cooking and crunch.
  • Soak the fries to remove excess starch for maximum crispiness.
  • Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
  • Add Parmesan cheese after cooking to keep the flavor strong without burning the cheese.
  • Use just enough oil to coat the fries, avoiding sogginess.
