Ingredients
- 500 g Potato (Peeled and cut into evenly sized sticks, not too thick)
- 20 g Powdered or grated Parmesan
- 0.5 tsp Hot paprika
- 1 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) (Sprayed over the potatoes)
- Salt (To taste)
Steps
- 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized sticks, making sure they are not too thick so they cook evenly.
- 2
Place the potato sticks in a bowl, cover them with cold water, and soak them for 30 minutes. This helps remove some of the starch and promotes a crispy texture.
- 3
Drain the potatoes very well and dry them completely with a clean cloth or kitchen towels. Return them to the bowl; they should be as dry as possible before seasoning.
- 4
Spray the extra-virgin olive oil over the potatoes.
- 5
Add the grated or powdered Parmesan and the hot paprika.
- 6
Add salt to taste and mix everything very well until the sticks are evenly coated.
- 7
Arrange the potatoes in the air fryer basket, on perforated parchment paper suitable for air fryers. Spread them out in a single layer without overcrowding to prevent them from becoming soft and to help them turn crispy.
- 8
Cook at 200 °C for 15 minutes. Shake the basket every 5 minutes so the potatoes brown evenly.
- 9
Remove the potatoes when they are golden and crispy on the outside and fully cooked inside. Serve immediately.
Notes
You can also prepare them in the oven at 200 °C for 20–25 minutes, preferably spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Use your favorite spices and omit the Parmesan if desired. For best results, do not overfill the air fryer basket.
