Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 russet potatoes washed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer 400°F.
  • Cut the potatoes into thin wedges or traditional French fry shape, and place in a large bowl.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes, and toss to coat.
  • Sprinkle in the garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
  • Place in the air fryer basket and fry for 20 to 25 minutes (10 - 15 minutes for smaller french fries), until golden and crispy, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  • Top with the parsley (if using), and serve warm.

Notes

Recipe Variations:
  • Change up the flavor by adding paprika, seasoning salt, or onion powder.
  • You can also sprinkle these fries with some cheddar cheese immediately after they are done cooking for added deliciousness.
To Peel Or Not To Peel: Peeling the potato is totally optional. I just wash the potatoes with a vegetable brush to remove any excess dirt and call it good!
Be Sure To Dry: Pat potatoes dry before you drizzle with oil and seasonings to prevent sogginess and help them be as crispy as possible.
Serve Immediately: Garlic parmesan french fries are at their absolute best when served hot and fresh from the air fryer. The contrast between the crispy exterior and fluffy interior diminishes as they cool, so have your serving plates ready and dig in right away!
