Air Fryer French Fries
Air Fryer French Fries are cut from Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes into thin 1/4-inch strips and lightly oiled, seasoned with salt, garlic powder, and pepper before air frying until crisp. This method yields fries with a crisp exterior and tender interior without deep-frying. Optionally topped with grated Parmesan cheese, these fries offer a flavorful, less oily alternative to traditional fried potatoes using common kitchen tools like an air fryer or toaster style fryer.
