Ingredients
Scale
- 5 potatoes (medium)
- 4 tbsps Parmesan cheese
- 1–2 tsp truffle oil
- 1 tsp salt
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preparation: Cut unpeeled potatoes into uniform, elongated strips using a sharp knife, ensuring consistent thickness for even cooking.
- Starch Removal: Rinse potato strips and soak in cold water for 15-20 minutes. Drain thoroughly and pat completely dry with kitchen towels to eliminate moisture.
- Initial Seasoning: Lightly coat potato strips with cooking spray and sprinkle kosher salt evenly across the surface.
- Air Frying Setup: Arrange potato strips in a single layer within the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding to promote optimal air circulation and crispiness.
- Cooking Process: Set air fryer to 400°F and cook for 10-12 minutes. Periodically shake the basket to ensure uniform browning and prevent sticking.
- Flavor Infusion: Midway through cooking, delicately drizzle truffle oil over the fries, ensuring each strip receives an aromatic coating.
- Final Touch: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese during the last two minutes of cooking, allowing it to melt and create a crispy, savory exterior.
- Serving: Remove fries from air fryer when golden and crisp. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese for an enhanced flavor profile.
- Alternative Method: For convenience, frozen fries can be used by following package instructions while incorporating truffle oil and Parmesan during the final cooking stages.
Notes
- Potato Selection Matters: Choose firm, starchy potatoes like Russet for maximum crispiness and best texture in air fryer.
- Starch Removal Technique: Soaking potatoes in cold water eliminates excess starch, guaranteeing ultra-crispy exterior and preventing soggy results.
- Oil Drizzling Strategy: Apply truffle oil midway through cooking to prevent burning and ensure maximum flavor infusion without overwhelming the fries.
- Cheese Melting Tip: Add Parmesan during last two minutes of cooking to create perfect golden, crispy cheese crust without burning.
