Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large Russet potatoes (about 1 lb)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into even sticks about 1/4 inch thick to ensure uniform cooking. Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch for extra crispiness.
  2. Dry and Season: Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel. In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning if using, until evenly coated.
  3. Air Fry the Fries: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) if needed. Place the fries in a single layer in the basket without overcrowding. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to promote even cooking and crispness.
  4. Add Parmesan and Finish: Once the fries are crispy and golden, immediately toss them with the grated Parmesan cheese while still hot so it melts nicely onto the fries. Serve right away for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Cut fries evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Soak fries in cold water to remove excess starch for extra crispiness.
  • Pat fries completely dry before seasoning to avoid sogginess.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation.
  • Shake or toss fries during cooking every 5 minutes for even browning.
  • Add Parmesan cheese after air frying to prevent burning and achieve a melted finish.
