Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.8 lb russet potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch fries
- 1.5 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch helps extra crispness
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.75 tsp fine sea salt plus more to taste
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp paprika optional, for color
- 0.5 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional, for heat
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F while you prep the potatoes.
- Slice potatoes into 1/4-inch sticks. Rinse, then soak in cold water for 10 minutes.
- Drain and dry the potatoes very well with clean towels.
- Toss fries with olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Air fry in a single layer for 15–18 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, until crispy and golden.
- Transfer hot fries to a bowl. Immediately toss with Parmesan and parsley. Adjust salt and add red pepper flakes if desired. Serve at once.
Notes
Variation ideas: Swap Parmesan with Pecorino for a sharper bite, or drizzle a little truffle oil before serving. To keep batches crisp, hold cooked fries in a 200°F oven while you finish the rest. Leftovers reheat well in the air fryer at 360°F for 3–5 minutes.
