Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Optional Garnish
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even sticks about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick to ensure consistent cooking and maximum crispiness.
- Soak and Dry: Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. After soaking, thoroughly pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to avoid sogginess.
- Season the Fries: Toss the dried potato sticks with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated, forming the flavorful base for your fries.
- Air Fry the Potatoes: Arrange the fries in a single layer inside your air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook at 380°F (193°C) for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The fries should turn golden brown and crispy.
- Add the Parmesan: Immediately sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot fries, allowing it to melt slightly, creating a delicious garlic Parmesan coating.
- Garnish and Serve: Scatter chopped fresh parsley on top for color and freshness. Serve your Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!

- Soak potatoes to remove excess starch for extra crispiness.
- Pat fries completely dry before air frying to avoid sogginess.
