Garlic Parmesan Fries

I just love potatoes in any form. Sometimes on the weekends, I'll roast some in the oven and then have a fried egg on top. That is the best Saturday morning breakfast ever. Then there are these fries tossed in garlic and parmesan. Sprinkle some extra parmesan cheese on top and no one will complain. Trust me.

These fries are baked in the oven and not fried. That makes them easy to dive into a pile of fries, because they are healthy fries. Imagine diving into a pile of grease, that would be bad. Since this recipe was made back in 2015, air fryers weren't trendy back then to have in your kitchen, so I recently updated this recipe to include air fryer instructions.

Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Fries

This recipe has been updated with air fryer instructions. To make really good potato wedges or fries in the air fryer it is best to soak the cut fries for 1 to 2 hours to release any excess starches.

What Ingredients do I need? 

In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for. 

Potatoes - any kind of potato that you can easily cut into wedges will be fine  

Garlic Cloves  - freshly minced or from a jar 

Parmesan - freshly grated is best, don’t use the stuff in the plastic green container 

Parsley   - dried is ok but freshly chopped parsley is best 

How to make Garlic Parmesan Fries 

To print the full recipe please see the recipe card below. 

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees.

Cut the potatoes into wedges. I will thinly slice mine once in the middle and then cut them into even potato wedges.

Place the potatoes on a lined sheet tray with aluminum foil. Drizzle some olive oil over the fries and then the garlic. Season with salt and pepper and then the parmesan cheese. Using your hands, toss the potatoes around a bit so that the fries get all coated in all the good stuff.

Bake in an oven for 30 minutes or until the potatoes have turned golden brown.

Air Fryer: Soak the cut fries for 1 to 2 hours in some water to release any excess starches. Remove from water and then season them salt and pepper, parmesan cheese, garlic, and olive oil. Place the fries in the air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 400 degrees and fry them for 15 - 20 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Divide the fries into 3 equal servings.
