Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large Russet Potatoes
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized sticks about 1/4 inch thick to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Soak the Fries: Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch and achieve extra crispiness.
  3. Dry and Season: Drain and thoroughly pat dry the fries using a clean kitchen towel. Toss the fries with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated for maximum flavor.
  4. Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the fries in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.
  5. Add Parmesan and Serve: Once fries are golden and crispy, transfer them to a bowl and immediately toss with freshly grated parmesan and chopped parsley if using. Serve hot for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Cut fries uniformly for consistent cooking.
  • Soaking is essential to remove starch and improve crispiness.
  • Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan for superior flavor over pre-grated cheese.
  • Shake the fries halfway during cooking to prevent soggy spots.
