Ingredients

  • 2 medium-large russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon oregano

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF for around 5 minutes.
  • Slice potatoes into fries (about ½-inch thick) and place them into a large bowl filled with water. 
  • In a second bowl, pour in about half the oil. In a third medium-large bowl combine parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and oregano.  Set aside.
  • Working in batches, remove about ⅓ of fries from water and pat dry with a tea towel or paper towel. Place the fries in the bowl with oil, sprinkle with salt, and toss to coat.  
  • Then, transfer the fries in a single layer in the fryer basket, so that they are not touching.
  • Air fry at 400ºF for 10 minutes. Flip fries over and cook another 6-7 minutes.
  • Remove fries from the fryer and place them into the bowl with parmesan cheese and spices. Toss to coat. Place fries on plate or parchment paper.
  • Repeat until all fries are cooked and coated.

Tips & Notes

  • Soaking the fries in water removes the extra starch and helps keep fries from sticking to each other.
  • It is not necessary to grease the basket since the fries are already coated in oil.
  • Air fryer used was 4 liters and fries were made in 3 batches.
  • Fries are best served immediately but can be reheated at a low temperature in the air fryer.
