Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4-5 medium potatoes
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tsp parsley

Instructions

  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized fries.
    A medium-sized pot is full of cut potato wedges that will be soaked in cold water to remove the starch. Then, they'll be cooked in the air fryer to make garlic parmesan fries.
  • Rinse the fries several times in cold water (or soak them in cold water for 15 minutes) to remove excess starch. Drain and dry the fries thoroughly with paper towels.
    Potatoes are cut into medium-sized fry wedges. They are dried on paper towels on a wooden cutting board.
  • Add the dry fries to a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt, paprika, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss the fries until they’re coated evenly.
    A large bowl is filled with raw potato fry slices that are covered in olive oil and spices.
  • Arrange the fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes.
    A circular, black air fryer basket is filled with raw potato wedges that are ready to be cooked and turned into air fryer garlic parmesan fries.
  • Shake the basket or flip the fries so they can cook evenly.
    Homemade fries are being cooked in a black, circular air fryer basket.
  • Air fry for 15 more minutes, until the fries are golden and crispy.

  • Transfer the hot fries to a serving bowl and sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

Notes

  • This recipe can be made in an air fryer unit with a basket or an air fryer oven. If you are using an air fryer oven, use the middle rack and choose the “Air Fry” function.
  • Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Make sure to check your food as it’s cooking to learn your air fryer better and avoid over- or undercooking.
