Ingredients
  

  • 4.0 medium russet potatoes
  • 2.0 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.0 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1.0 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1.0 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 0.25 inches thick, to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
  • Soak the Potatoes: Place the cut potato strips in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes.
  • Drain and Dry: After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  • Season the Fries: In a large mixing bowl, toss the dried potato strips with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well-coated.
  • Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned fries and gently mix until the fries are evenly coated.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • Air Fry the Fries: Spread the seasoned fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  • Serve: Once cooked, remove the fries from the air fryer, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
