Air Fryer French Fries
Description
These Air Fryer French Fries start with carefully sliced potatoes cut lengthwise into thin strips about 1/4-inch thick. Tossed in olive oil and a simple seasoning of kosher salt, garlic powder, and cracked black pepper ensures a balanced flavor and even crisping. Their even size helps them cook uniformly in the air fryer basket without overlapping, which is crucial for achieving the desired crispness.
The air fryer cooks the fries at high temperature, circulating hot air to produce a golden and crunchy exterior while maintaining a soft interior. The optional addition of grated Parmesan adds a subtle savory note after cooking. Cooking times vary slightly with different equipment, with adjustments noted for toaster style fryers.
This approach is practical for making fries with less oil and mess while still enjoying the texture and taste of homemade fries. They can be served as a side for casual meals or snacks.

Instructions
- Cut the potato lengthwise into 1/4 inch thin slices; then cut each slice into 1/4 inch fries. (A mandolin is helpful here).
