Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb Russet potatoes
  • 1.5 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 0.33 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Cut the scrubbed Russet potatoes into even 1/4-inch sticks.
  2. Place potato sticks in a large bowl of ice-cold water for 30 minutes to draw out excess starch.
  3. Drain the potatoes and pat them with a lint-free kitchen towel until they are completely dry to the touch.
  4. In a dry mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with avocado oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated and glistening under the light.
  5. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Arrange fries in the basket without overcrowding, working in batches if necessary. Ensure there is air space between the sticks for the convection to work.
  7. Air fry for 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning and crispness.
  8. While fries are hot, toss them in a large bowl with melted butter, freshly grated Parmesan, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
