Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large Russet Potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick sticks
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/3 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing and peeling your russet potatoes, then slice them into even sticks about 1/4-inch thick. Consistent sizing ensures they cook evenly and come out perfectly crispy every time.
  2. Soak and Dry: Place the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve maximum crunch. After soaking, pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels to avoid steam during cooking.
  3. Season and Coat: In a large bowl, toss the dry fries with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Then, sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese over the fries and toss again to coat evenly, making sure each fry carries a flavorful layer.
  4. Air Fry to Perfection: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the fries in a single layer inside the basket, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking and golden crispiness.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the fries to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot to enjoy the full aroma and crunchy texture of your delicious Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Fries.

Notes

  • Even Cuts: Slice your fries to uniform thickness for consistent cooking and texture.
  • Don’t Skip Soaking: Soaking removes excess starch and prevents sogginess.
  • Toss Mid-Cook: Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking for even browning.
  • Use Fresh Parmesan: Freshly grated Parmesan offers the best melting and flavor.
  • Serve Immediately: Fries are crunchiest right out of the air fryer, so serve without delay.
