Instructions
 

Soak the Potatoes:

  • Start by cutting the potatoes into French fry shapes.
    2 large potatoes
  • Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water.
    Cold water
  • Allow them to soak for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • This soaking process helps remove excess starch, which will result in crispier fries.

Drain and Dry:

  • After soaking, drain the potatoes in a colander and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  • Removing excess moisture is crucial for achieving crispy fries in the air fryer.

Preheat the Air Fryer:

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

Season the Potatoes:

  • In a mixing bowl, toss the drained and dried potato fries with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
    1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, Salt and pepper to taste

Air Fry the Fries:

  • Place the seasoned potato fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to allow for proper circulation of hot air. You may need to cook them in batches.
  • Cook the fries at 375°F (190°C) for 15-17 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of crispiness. Be sure to shake the basket or use a spatula to flip the fries halfway through the cooking time for even browning.

Add Parmesan Cheese:

  • Just before the fries are done, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the hot fries.
    2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Let the cheese melt and become slightly golden in the air fryer for about 1-2 minutes.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Once the fries are cooked to perfection and the cheese is melted and slightly crispy, remove them from the air fryer basket.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
