Ingredients
Units
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 russet potatoes
Seasonings and Oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Cheese and Garnish
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4 inch thin slices, then cut each slice into 1/4 inch fries. Using a mandoline can help achieve uniform slices.
- Soak the Potatoes: Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of water and soak for 1-2 hours to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving extra crispiness.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: About 5 minutes before cooking, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Drain and Toss: Drain the water from the potatoes and pat dry. Toss the fries with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Cook the Fries: Arrange the coated fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking or tossing halfway through for even crisping.
- Serve: Once golden and crispy, remove from the air fryer. Optional: top with additional parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Using a mandoline helps achieve uniform fries and ensures even cooking.
- Soaking the potatoes helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
- Adjust cooking time based on your preference for crispiness and your specific air fryer model.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle with chopped parsley or your favorite herbs before serving.
