Ingredients

3 servings

For the fries

  • 2 largerusset potatoes, cut into fries
  • 2 tbspolive oil
  • 1/2 tspgarlic powder
  • 1/2 tspsalt
  • 1/4 tspblack pepper

To finish

  • 1/3 cupfinely grated Parmesan
  • 3 tbspYo Amma Indian Chili Crisp
  • 2 tbspchopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the cut fries in cold water for 20 minutes if you have time, then pat completely dry — this is the key to crispiness.

  2. 2

    Toss the fries with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Air fry at 400 F for 18-22 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until golden and crisp. (Or bake at 425 F for 25-30 minutes, flipping once.)

  4. 4

    While the fries are hot, toss or sprinkle with the grated Parmesan so it melts slightly.

  5. 5

    Drizzle generously with Yo Amma Indian Chili Crisp, scatter with parsley, and serve immediately.

Pro Tips

  • Dry the fries thoroughly before cooking — moisture is the enemy of crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air-fryer basket; cook in batches so the fries crisp instead of steam.
  • Add the chili crisp at the very end so the crunch stays intact.

FAQ

Can I use frozen fries?+

Yes. Cook the frozen fries per the package directions, then finish with Parmesan and Yo Amma Indian Chili Crisp.

Air fryer or oven — which is better?+

Both work well. The air fryer is faster and gives an extra-crispy result; the oven is great for larger batches.

Is this recipe vegetarian?+

Yes. Use a vegetarian or vegan Parmesan if you avoid animal rennet.
