  • 1 tsp Fresh Parsley (finely chopped)
  • Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)

Method

  3. Step 3: Air FryPlace the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer (don't overcrowd!). Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Shake it UpEvery 5 minutes, give the basket a good shake to ensure all sides get golden and crispy.
  5. Step 5: Add the MagicOnce the fries are done, remove them and immediately toss with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley while they are still hot. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce!
