1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp of oil

1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp chopped fresh parsley
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.
Season the Fries: In a large bowl, toss fries with garlic powder, seasoning salt, smoked paprika, black pepper, and oil until evenly coated.
Air fry: Air fry the potatoes at 400β (200β) 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.
