Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes

Instructions
- Wash and peel the potatoes.

- Soak the potato strips in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes.
- Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, combine the dried potato strips with olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Toss everything well until the fries are evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the seasoned fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook the fries for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Once done, transfer the fries to a serving bowl while they’re hot.

- Give the fries one last toss to ensure every fry is covered in cheese.
- Serve immediately to enjoy.
Notes
Storage: Store leftover garlic Parmesan French fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure the fries are completely cool before sealing to prevent condensation and sogginess.
Reheating: To reheat the fries, preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are crispy again. Alternatively, you can reheat them in a conventional oven at the same temperature for a similar duration.
Serving: Serve the garlic Parmesan French fries immediately after cooking for the best texture and flavor. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch or garlic aioli, for an extra treat.
Chef’s Tip: For extra crispiness, make sure to soak the potato strips long enough to remove excess starch, and always dry them thoroughly before tossing with oil and seasonings. This ensures a perfect crunch when cooked in the air fryer.
