When you have a bunch of potatoes that are sprouting and need to be used up STAT, you make Parmesan Garlic fries in the air fryer. You can’t really go wrong with sprinkling cheese on top of anything.
I wouldn’t say air fryers are a must-have kitchen tool, but they’re certainly fun to play with! This is the exact air fryer I have, and it’s a lot of fun. It’s a fantastic way to get things crispy and crunchy without using much oil. (If you haven’t got an air fryer, try roasting the potatoes for about 30 minutes at 425F, flipping and stirring the fries once at the 15-minute mark.)
I served this as a side dish with Lemon Pepper Baked Cod for a light “fish and chips” dinner.
