Effortless Air Fryer Parmesan Garlic Fries (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Potato Fries Prep
01 -
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated fresh
02 -
2 big russet potatoes
03 -
Salt and pepper to your liking
04 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
06 -
1 teaspoon paprika
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab each potato and slice it thin—around 1/4 inch thickness. Then cut those slices into fry-sized strips. Using a mandoline can make this faster and keeps the size consistent.
02 -
Pop those cut potato strips into a chilled water bowl. Give it at least an hour or two. This removes the extra starch, making fries crunchier.
03 -
Get your air fryer hot by preheating it to 400°F (200°C) about 5 minutes before you're ready to cook.
04 -
Drain out that water and dry off the potatoes. Coat them with olive oil, pepper, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan. Lay them out in a single layer inside the air fryer. If needed, cook in shifts. Fry for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket midway to brown them evenly.
05 -
Want a little extra flavor? Sprinkle some Parmesan, parsley, or garlic powder on top before serving them up.
# Notes:
01 -
For quick and even slices, grab a mandoline.
02 -
Truffle salt or oil can give them a fancier kick.
03 -
Skipping the soak? You'll lose that crunch!
