There’s nothing quite like golden, crunchy fries kissed with garlic and Parmesan—without the guilt of deep frying.

These Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Fries deliver the perfect balance of crisp exterior and tender interior, loaded with savory cheese and aromatic herbs.

Ready in under 20 minutes, they’ll become your go-to side, snack, or party appetizer.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Healthier “Fried” Fries – Uses just a tablespoon of oil for irresistibly crisp potatoes.

Flavor Explosion – Fresh garlic, Parmesan, and herbs elevate simple spuds to gourmet level.

Quick & Hands-Off – Toss, air-fry, and season—minimal babysitting required.

Customizable Spice – Add chili flakes or smoked paprika for an extra kick.

Perfect for Any Occasion – Weeknight sides, game-day snacks, or movie-night treats.

What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)

Russet Potatoes (4 medium) – Starchy potatoes that crisp up beautifully.

Olive Oil (1 Tbsp) – Just enough to help seasonings adhere and promote browning.

Fresh Garlic (3 cloves, minced) – For bright, pungent flavor.

Grated Parmesan (¼ cup) – Adds nutty, salty richness.

Italian Herbs (1 tsp dried oregano + 1 tsp dried parsley) – Classic seasoning blend.

Salt & Black Pepper – To taste, finishing the fries perfectly.

Pro Tips Before You Start

Soak & Dry: Soak cut fries in cold water 15 minutes, then pat completely dry—removes starch for extra crispness.

Uniform Size: Cut fries into even ½″ sticks so they cook at the same rate.

Preheat Air Fryer: Warm to 380°F before adding fries to ensure immediate sizzle.

Shake Basket: Toss fries halfway through cooking for all-around crisping.

Season Immediately: Toss hot fries with garlic, cheese, and herbs right out of the air fryer so the flavors stick.

How to Make Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Fries

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

Scrub and peel (optional) 4 medium russet potatoes. Cut into ½″-thick sticks.

Place in a large bowl of cold water and soak 15 minutes. Drain and pat fries thoroughly dry.

Step 2: Preheat & Oil

Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C).

In a clean bowl, toss dried fries with 1 Tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper.

Step 3: Air Fry

Arrange fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if needed).

Air fry at 380°F for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, until golden and crisp.

Step 4: Season & Finish

Meanwhile, combine 3 cloves minced garlic, ¼ cup grated Parmesan

1 tsp dried oregano, and 1 tsp dried parsley in a small bowl.

Transfer hot fries to a large bowl.

Immediately sprinkle with the garlic-Parmesan mixture and toss to coat evenly.

What to Serve With These Fries

Classic Ketchup or Aioli – Creamy garlic mayo or spicy chipotle dip.

Burgers & Sandwiches – The ultimate sidekick for juicy burgers and wraps.

Grilled Steaks or Chicken – A crisp, cheesy side that elevates any protein.

Fresh Salad – A light green salad balances the richness.

Variations / Substitutions

Sweet Potato Fries: Swap russets for sweet potatoes; reduce cook time by 2–3 minutes.

Spicy Twist: Add ½ tsp smoked paprika or ¼ tsp red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.

Herb Swap: Use fresh parsley and thyme for a brighter finish.

Vegan Option: Replace Parmesan with nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor.

Cheesy Upgrade: Stir in 2 Tbsp shredded mozzarella immediately after tossing.

Storage & Reheating Tips

Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Reheat: Return to the air fryer at 350°F for 3–4 minutes to re-crisp.

Don’t Freeze: Best enjoyed fresh—refrigeration preserves texture better than freezing.

FAQs

Can I skip soaking the potatoes?
You can—but soaking removes excess starch for the crispiest results.

What air fryer temp is best?
380°F delivers a perfect golden exterior without burning.

How do I prevent fries from sticking?
Dry potatoes thoroughly and shake the basket halfway through.

Can I use pre-cut frozen fries?
Yes—reduce cooking time by 3–5 minutes and skip the soaking step.

Why are my fries soft?
They need more space—avoid overcrowding and ensure even airflow.

Is olive oil necessary?
A light coating helps seasonings stick and promotes browning; avocado oil works too.

Can I make these gluten-free?
Absolutely—potatoes, oil, and seasonings are naturally gluten-free.

Final Thoughts

These Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Fries turn everyday potatoes into a gourmet treat with minimal fuss.

Crispy, cheesy, and perfectly seasoned, they’ll become the star side dish at every meal. Give them a try—you’ll never look back!
