Garlic Parmesan Air Fryer French Fries
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.
Ingredients
- 2 russet potato medium
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Fill a large bowl with ice water.
- Slice the potatoes into 1/4 inch matchsticks.
- Place the cut fries in the ice water while you slice the rest of the potatoes.
- Allow the fries to rest in the ice water for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees F for at least 5 minutes.
- Drain the fries from the water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Toss the fries with olive oil and kosher salt.
- Place in the air fryer and cook at 360 degrees F for 7minutes.
- Toss the fries, making sure none of them have stuck to the bottom.
- Turn the heat up to 400 degrees F and cook for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until the fries reach your desired doneness.
- Remove the fries from the air fryer and toss them with the parmesan cheese and garlic powder.
- If you’d like to keep the fries warm, place them on a sheet pan and put them in a 225 degree F oven for up to 1 hour.
