Tasty air fryer seasoned french fries with garlic powder, smoked paprika, and grated parmesan with freshly cut parsley.
I love elevating something as simple as french fries. Add in some spices, sprinkle with Parmesan and chopped parsley and it looks like it came from a restaurant!
The best part is making these french fries with very little oil and they are still golden and crispy!

Cooking French Fries in the Air Fryer
I love my air fryer. There’s no preheating required and a LOT less oil than a deep fryer so food does not come out nearly as saturated with grease.
I tested out cooking them in a single layer vs. filling the basket with all of the fries from the recipe at once.
They cooked in a thin layer (about ¼ of the basket high) and still turned out nice and crispy.
Instructions
- Rinse potatoes thoroughly in water and pat dry. Peel potatoes if you prefer the skin removed. Cut potatoes lengthwise into ¼″ thick pieces.
- Place fries in a medium-sized bowl and toss with olive oil. Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat.
- Place fries in air fryer basket, set to 380 degrees, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time. Once they are done sprinkle with grated parmesan and parsley.
French Fry Sauce
There are many great french fry sauces I recommend with this recipe! Some of my favorites are this healthy homemade ranch and spicy Cajun remoulade.
I made steak to go with the fries from my Cast-Iron Skillet Flank Steak recipe.
