Ingredients
- 2–3 Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled or unpeeled, cut into fries
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized fries and soak in cold water for 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain and pat the fries completely dry.
- Toss the fries in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and add the fries in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
- Cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until fries are golden and crispy.
- While hot, toss the fries with minced garlic and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Optional: sprinkle with truffle salt or toss in melted butter for extra richness.
- Spicy versions can include cayenne or chipotle powder.
- Dairy-free version: skip the Parmesan and use garlic and herbs only.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days; best eaten fresh.
- Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 4–5 minutes to restore crispiness.
