Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, cut into fries
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil and salt until evenly coated.
Step 3: Place the fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 4: While the fries cook, combine the minced garlic and grated parmesan in a small bowl.
Step 5: Once the fries are crispy and golden, remove them from the air fryer and immediately toss with the garlic and parmesan mixture.
Step 6: Serve hot, garnished with extra parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.

Tips & Variations

Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch and achieve crispier fries.
Use fresh parmesan for the best flavor, or substitute with Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes when tossing with garlic and parmesan for a spicy kick.
Try using sweet potatoes for a different flavor and added sweetness.

Storage

Store leftover fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes to regain crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the fries soggy.

FAQs

Can I use frozen fries for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen fries, but reduce the cooking time as they are usually partially cooked already. Toss them with garlic and parmesan after air frying as usual.

How do I make sure the fries come out crispy?

Cut potatoes evenly, soak them in cold water to remove starch, dry them thoroughly, and avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Shaking the basket halfway through cooking also helps crispiness.
