Ingredients

  • 1 large russet potato or 2 small, ~14-oz.
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil (15g)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter (14g)
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1-2 Tbsp fresh grated parmesan (10g)
  • minced parsley optional to garnish

Fry sauce:

  • 1/4 cup light mayo (60g)
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • pinch of salt & cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Combine fry sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Peel potatoes and cut into 1/4-inch thin strips like fries. Place in an ice water bath to soak for 30 minutes. Drain well, then dry thoroughly with paper towels ensuring all liquid is squeezed out.
  • Place in a bowl and toss with the olive oil and salt. Transfer to the air fryer basket in a single layer, so none are overlapping (important so they can crisp up all around–cook in batches if needed).
  • Air fry at 390F for 10 minutes. Then toss/shake the basket and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until fries are crispy and browned to liking.
  • When the fries are close to done, melt the butter in a small dish and stir in the minced garlic. Transfer hot fries to a bowl and toss with the garlic butter. Sprinkle grated parmesan and minced parsley over top. Serve immediately with fry sauce and enjoy!

Notes

*Frozen garlic cubes work great for this too!
