- 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
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
Toss the fries with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- 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
While the fries are hot, toss or sprinkle with the grated Parmesan so it melts slightly.
- 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.
