- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions: Crispy Parmesan Potato Fries>
- Cut potatoes into sticks, soak in cold water, then drain and dry completely.
- Toss potatoes with olive oil, seasonings, and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake at 425°F or air fry at 400°F until golden and crispy, turning halfway.
- Serve hot with extra Parmesan and optional parsley.
Air fryer method:
Air frying delivers maximum crispiness in less time. Because air circulates constantly, Crispy Parmesan Potato Fries brown quickly and evenly.
Cook in batches if needed. Overloading reduces airflow and softens the fries.
Oven-baked method:
Oven baking works well for larger batches. Turning the fries halfway allows both sides to crisp evenly.
Use parchment paper or a lightly greased baking sheet to prevent sticking, especially because Parmesan can cling as it melts.
Notes:
Soak and dry potatoes thoroughly for maximum crispiness.
