# Ingredients:
→ For the Fries
01 -
2 large russet potatoes
02 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
03 -
1 teaspoon paprika
04 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 -
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
06 -
Salt and black pepper to taste
# Instructions:
01 -
Cut each potato lengthwise into 1/4 inch thin slices, then cut each slice into 1/4 inch fries. A mandoline makes this process much easier and gives you consistent results.
02 -
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 1-2 hours. This removes excess starch and ensures extra crispy fries.
03 -
About 5 minutes before cooking, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
04 -
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, and paprika. Working in batches if needed, arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through for even browning.
05 -
If desired, finish with an extra sprinkle of parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and fresh parsley before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Use a mandoline for quick, uniform slicing
02 -
Try adding truffle salt or truffle oil for an elegant twist
03 -
Don't skip the soaking step - it's crucial for achieving crispy fries
