Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Place frozen french fries in the air fryer basket and spread them out evenly.
1 bag frozen steak fries
Air fry for 15-20 minutes. Optionally, shake the basket halfway through the cook time.
Mix garlic powder, cayenne, onion powder, sea salt, paprika, Parmesan, and and parsley flakes together in a bowl.
1 teaspoon garlic powder, ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ½ teaspoon onion powder, 1 Tablespoon sea salt, ½ teaspoon paprika, 6 Tablespoons parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon parsley flakes
Once cooked, place fries in a large bowl. Let the fries cool just enough to handle, then drizzle with olive oil and season with fry seasoning. Using your hands, mix together to evenly coat all of the fries.
Serve, and enjoy!

If you want to make homemade steak fries to use for this recipe rather than using frozen, follow these instructions:

Rinse potatoes well, and do not peel. Cut each potato lengthwise in half, then lay flat and cut lengthwise again into quarters, then once more into eighths.
Soak the wedges in a bowl of cold water for 10-15 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
While it heats, mix garlic powder, cayenne, onion powder, sea salt, paprika, Parmesan, and and parsley flakes together in a bowl.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towel or a large tea towel. Once dry, coat the potatoes with seasoning and place them in the air fryer basket without overlapping any fries.
Air fry for 20 minutes. Optionally, you may flip the fries halfway through the cooking process or leave them for a bit longer if you want them to be even crispier.
Serve, and enjoy!

Air Fryer Fries Recipe Tips

You can use any fry seasoning you like for this recipe! Try making these fries with a spice mix that complements your meal, like Steak Seasoning or Tri-Tip Rub.
These fries are best served with a dipping sauce. Mix together ketchup and mayo for a simple fry sauce, or serve with a more complex sauce like kimchi mayo.
You shouldn't need to flip or shake the basket for your fries, but if you're using frozen fries, you can shake it halfway through the cook time to make sure they're all cooking evenly.
