Garlic Parmesan Air Fryer French Fries

These Garlic Parmesan Air Fryer French Fries use russet potatoes sliced into matchsticks, soaked in ice water to remove excess starch for crispiness. After drying, the fries are tossed with olive oil and kosher salt, then air fried at two different temperatures to achieve a crunchy exterior and tender interior. The fries are finished with grated Parmesan cheese and garlic powder, adding a savory, cheesy, and slightly garlicky flavor. This method offers a way to enjoy fries with a balanced texture without deep frying.

Description

The Garlic Parmesan Air Fryer French Fries recipe starts with medium russet potatoes cut into uniform thin sticks, which are soaked in ice water for at least 15 minutes. This soaking helps reduce starch and encourages crispiness when cooked. After draining and drying, the fries are lightly coated with olive oil and kosher salt. They are air fried at 360°F for seven minutes to begin cooking, then stirred to prevent sticking and cooked further at 400°F until golden and crisp. Adding Parmesan cheese and garlic powder right after cooking imparts a rich, savory layer with a mild garlic taste. The fries can be kept warm in a low oven if needed, making them convenient for serving.

The crisp exterior contrasts with the soft interior from the careful temperature adjustments during air frying. This recipe is a straightforward way to make fries with distinct garlic and cheese flavor that can complement burgers, sandwiches, or be served as a flavorful snack.
