Equipment

Ingredients

French Fries

  • 2 medium russet potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon of olive oil or olive oil spray see notes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Sweet Chili Ketchup

  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 4-5 large basil leaves about ¼ cup
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 garlic clove minced

Instructions

  • For the French Fries 
  • Fill a large bowl with ice water. 
  • Slice the potatoes into ¼” matchsticks. Place the cut fries in the ice water while you slice the rest of the potatoes. 
  • Allow the fries to rest in the ice water for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your Air Fryer to 365F for at least 5 minutes. 
  • Remove the fries and pat them dry with a paper towel. 
  • Toss the fries with the olive oil and salt. Place them in the air fryer and cook at 365F for 7 minutes. 
  • Stir the fries, making sure none of them have stuck to the bottom. Turn the heat up to 400F and cook the fries for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until they are your desired doneness. 
  • Remove the fries from the Air Fryer and toss them with the parmesan cheese and garlic powder. 
  • If you’d like to keep the fries warm, place them on a sheet pan and put them in a 225F oven for up to 1 hour. 
  • For the Sweet Chili Ketchup 
  • Add the ketchup, basil, sweet chili sauce, and garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until smooth. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge until ready to use

Notes

I highly recommend using russet potatoes in this recipe. I peel the sides of the potato, but not the tops to give them a “rustic” look.
