02 -

→ Finishing
06 -
A handful of parsley, chopped (optional to throw on top)
07 -
60 grams parmesan cheese, shredded right before using
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Dump the garlicky parmesan fries onto a plate. Sprinkle with that fresh parsley if you feel fancy. Don’t wait—eat them right now while they’re piping hot.
02 -
Top those hot fries still in the air fryer basket with the parmesan. Slide them back in for another 2 or 3 minutes till the cheese is gooey and a bit golden.
03 -
Spread your seasoned fries in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Don’t pile them up—cook in rounds if you have to. Blast them for 15–20 minutes at 200°C. Shake the basket partway so they crisp evenly.
04 -
Switch on your air fryer and set it to 200°C. Let it get hot for 3–5 minutes to be ready to go.
05 -
Toss those thoroughly dried potato fries with olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt in your biggest bowl. Make sure each fry gets some oil-love.
06 -
Rinse, peel, then chop your big russet potatoes into sticks about 1.25 cm thick. Dunk the cut fries in cold water for half an hour to rinse off the starch. Drain them and get them dry with a towel.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Don’t skip soaking and drying your cut potatoes. It helps your fries bake up crispy and not soggy.
02 -
Give your fries plenty of space in the air fryer so they all turn crunchy and brown.
03 -
Chow down right away while they’re at their best and crunchiest.
