Tips and Tricks

Soaking Potatoes

Soak the potato sticks in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, which results in crispier fries.

Drying Thoroughly

Ensure the potato sticks are completely dry before tossing them in oil. Excess moisture can prevent them from crisping up properly in the air fryer.

Preheating the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer before adding the potatoes. This helps the fries start cooking immediately and ensures even cooking.

Coating Evenly

Toss the potato sticks in oil thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated. This helps achieve a uniform golden color and crispiness.

Shaking the Basket

Shake the air fryer basket several times during cooking to promote even browning and prevent sticking.

Cooking in Batches

If your air fryer is small, cook the fries in batches to avoid overcrowding. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and soggy fries.

Adding Seasoning

Sprinkle the cheese seasoning mix on the fries while they are still hot. This helps the seasoning adhere better and enhances the flavor.

Final Crisping

Return the seasoned fries to the air fryer for a few extra minutes to achieve the perfect level of crispiness.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the fries immediately for the best texture. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, aioli, or ranch.

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.

Ingredients
 

Instructions
 

  • Trim the ends of the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into thin sticks, about half an inch wide.
  • Place the potato sticks in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 30 minutes.
  • Drain the soaked potatoes in a colander.
  • Lay the potato sticks on a double layer of paper towels and pat them dry.
  • Wipe the bowl clean and set it aside.
  • In a small cup, mix together Romano cheese and seasoning blend to make a seasoning mix.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 340°F for 3 minutes.
  • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray.
  • Put the dried potato sticks back into the cleaned bowl and drizzle them with cooking oil. Toss them until evenly coated.
  • Place the coated potato sticks in the fryer basket.
  • Air fry the potatoes until they are partially cooked, which should take about 13-15 minutes. Shake the basket a few times to ensure even cooking. Wipe the bowl clean.
  • Increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F.
  • Continue air frying the potatoes until they become lightly golden, about 11-13 minutes, tossing them once.
  • Transfer the fries to the cleaned bowl and sprinkle them with the cheese seasoning mix. Toss them until evenly coated.
  • Return the fries to the fryer basket and air fry for an additional 3-5 minutes until they are golden and crispy.
  • Sprinkle the fries evenly with salt.
  • Transfer the crispy cheese fries to a serving bowl and sprinkle them with any remaining seasoning mix from the bowl.
