Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
4 large russet potatoes
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
Cut Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes (if desired). Cut them into thick wedges or fries.
Soak in Water: Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry.
Season the Fries
Mix Garlic Butter: In a bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Coat the Fries: Toss the dried potato wedges in the garlic butter mixture until evenly coated.
Air Fry the Fries
Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Air Fry: Place the seasoned potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve
Plate the Dish: Once cooked, transfer the fries to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped parsley and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Tips and Variations
Add Spice: For a kick, sprinkle cayenne pepper or chili powder before air frying.
Dipping Sauce: Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or aioli.
Storage: Leftover fries can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for best results.
