  • Author: Lusine Svetlana

Description

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these Air Fryer Fries with Garlic and Parmesan are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fries. Perfectly seasoned and topped with fresh garlic and shredded Parmesan, they make a perfect side dish or snack. Let’s dive into the recipe and discover how to make these delectable fries!

Ingredients

  • 3 large potatoes
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 2–3 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • ½ tbsp parsley
  • ⅔ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes

Start by peeling the potatoes. Once peeled, cut them into your desired size for fries. Whether you prefer thick-cut steak fries or thin shoestring fries, the choice is yours!

2. Season the Fries

Place the cut potatoes in a mixing bowl. Pour oil over the fries, starting with 2 tablespoons. If necessary, add an additional tablespoon to ensure the fries are well-coated. Sprinkle in the salt and pepper, then mix everything together until the fries are evenly coated with the seasoning.

3. Cook in the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 370°F. Once heated, place the seasoned fries in the air fryer basket. Cook the fries for 17-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. The result should be perfectly crispy fries.

4. Add Garlic and Parmesan

After the fries have finished cooking, remove them from the air fryer and place them on a serving plate. Immediately top with the minced garlic and shredded Parmesan cheese. The heat from the fries will help to melt the cheese slightly, enhancing the flavor. Finally, garnish with parsley for a fresh touch.

Storage Tips

If you have leftovers or want to prepare fries in advance, follow these storage tips to maintain their quality:

  1. Refrigeration: Place any leftover fries in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
  2. Reheating: To reheat the fries and retain their crispiness, use the air fryer. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F and cook the fries for 3-5 minutes until they are heated through and crispy again. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make the fries soggy.
  3. Freezing: If you want to freeze the fries, spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer the fries to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.
  4. Reheating Frozen Fries: To reheat frozen fries, place them directly in the air fryer without thawing. Cook at 370°F for 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

 

By following these serving and storage tips, you can enjoy your Air Fryer Fries with Garlic and Parmesan fresh, crispy, and delicious every time.
