Garlic Parmesan Fries (Air Fryer)
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these Garlic Parmesan Fries made in the air fryer are an irresistible twist on the classic side dish. Golden fries flavored with garlic and freshly grated Parmesan, finished with parsley. Easy, fast, and full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Peel and cut potatoes into uniform thin fries. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the dried potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Place fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook in batches if necessary. Fry for 18 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.
- Meanwhile, heat a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and a teaspoon of olive oil. Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Once fries are golden brown and crisp, transfer to a mixing bowl. Toss immediately with the warm garlic oil, grated Parmesan, and chopped parsley.
- Serve hot, topped with extra cheese or parsley if desired.
