INGREDIENTS
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled or unpeeled (Or Yukon Golds, Idaho)
- 1-2 tablespoons high quality virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder, for deeper flavor, use 1 medium garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder, or other favorite seasonings
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- black pepper to taste
- ¾ cup parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit according to air fryer model. (Mine was 400 F for 5 minutes) Cosori 5.8 quart
- Wash and dry the potatoes. With a sharp knife cut potatoes into ¼ inch strips lengthwise and each strip into ¼ inch wide strips.
- In a large bowl, soak the fries in room temperature water for 15-30 minutes. 9I found that there is not much of a difference if its hot or cold water).
- Rinse the potatoes with water again to remove any remaining starch and pat dry them properly.
- Toss the fries in oil, and seasonings. Massage the potatoes to ensure they are coated entirely.
- Place potatoes into preheated air fryer basket in a single even layer and fry for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through a couple of times to ensure even frying. You'll have to do this in batches (3-4 batches depending on air fryer size). Depending on a model, air fryer should let you know when to shake the basket.
- If the fries are not as crispy as you'd like, fry them for another 5 or more minutes until they are. Homemade air fryer french fries will look slightly different than when deep frying. It is normal if they are more of a golden brown in some parts. But please don't confuse this with burned fries that were cut too thin and over-fried.
- Transfer the hot fries into a large bowl, add more seasoning if needed, parmesan and toss/shake well. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces!
- While you continue with the rest of the batches, keep the fries warm in the oven spreading them out on a baking sheet (set the temperature at the lowest, not more than 250 F).
