• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

• Prep the potatoes: Wash and slice the potatoes into fries. Place in an ice bath for 15-20 minutes. Drain and dry thoroughly - fries must be very dry for crispiness.

• Air fry: Air fry the potatoes at 400℉ (200℃) for 30-35 minutes, tossing and shaking every 8-10 minutes until the Fries are golden and crispy.

• Make the garlic aioli: While the Fries are cooking, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, garlic powder, black pepper, and parsley. Chill until ready to serve.

• Make the garlic butter: Melt butter in the microwave with minced garlic and garlic salt until fragrant.

• Once fries are done, drizzle with garlic butter, then toss with Parmesan cheese and parsley until evenly coated.

• Serve immediately with garlic aioli, extra Parmesan, and parsley for Garnish.
