Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp seasoning salt
• 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp fresh parsley
• 3 tbsp butter
• 3 cloves garlic
• 0.5 tsp garlic salt
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Wash and slice potatoes into fries. Place in an ice bath for 15–20 minutes.
2. Drain and dry thoroughly with paper towels — fries must be very dry for crispiness.
3. In a large bowl, toss fries with garlic powder, seasoning salt, smoked paprika, black pepper, and avocado oil until evenly coated.
4. Arrange fries in the air fryer basket in an even layer (work in batches if needed). Air fry at 400°F for 30–35 minutes, tossing/shaking the basket every 8–10 minutes until fries are golden and crispy.
5. While fries are cooking, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, pressed garlic, garlic powder, black pepper, and parsley. Chill until ready to serve.
6. Melt butter in the microwave with minced garlic and garlic salt until fragrant.
7. Once fries are done, drizzle with garlic butter, then toss with Parmesan cheese and parsley until evenly coated.
8. Serve immediately with garlic aioli, extra Parmesan, and parsley for garnish.
