4.6 from 141 reviews

Crispy and flavorful Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Fries are a delicious, healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried fries. Tossed with fragrant garlic, savory Parmesan cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil, these fries have a perfect golden crunch and rich taste, making them an irresistible snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Fries

  • 3 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold), cut into fries

Seasoning

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes if desired, then cut them into uniform fries about 1/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
  2. Season the Fries: In a large bowl, toss the cut potato fries with olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until all fries are thoroughly coated.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes to ensure crispy fries.
  4. Cook the Fries: Arrange the fries in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding. Air fry at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the fries halfway through cooking to promote even crisping.
  5. Serve: Once golden brown and crispy, remove the fries from the air fryer and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use Russet potatoes for the crispiest fries or Yukon Gold for a creamier texture.
  • Make sure fries are cut evenly to cook uniformly.
  • Shaking or stirring fries halfway through cooking helps achieve even crispness.
  • For extra garlic flavor, sprinkle a little garlic powder in addition to fresh garlic.
  • Parmesan cheese can be substituted with Pecorino Romano if desired.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, aioli, or ranch.
