Our GARLIC FRIES are cooked in the air fryer to keep things healthy and easy! We take our homemade fries, and season them with a little garlic and olive oil.
Homemade french fries are great right? You can cut them the size you want, get them as soft or as crisp as you want, and season them up to your tastes.
This time around we were craving garlic…which happens often, let’s be real.
Hello, garlic fries! Perfect to go with our air fryer hamburgers or air fryer brats!
In our family we like to experiment and change things a lot. We made a “fry sauce” that we dipped our garlic fries in and also put on our burgers! It was so good I had to share it, so look below and you will find a bonus recipe!

How to make garlic fries in the air fryer:
- Peel your potatoes and cut them lengthwise into french fry sized strips.
- Combine the potatoes with the olive oil in a large bowl. Stir the potatoes to coat them in the oil.
- Sprinkle in the salt, garlic powder, and pepper then stir the fries again to coat.
- Add the fries to an air fryer basket in a single even layer. Try not to stack them so that they cook more evenly. Cook these for 20 minutes and shake the basket after 10 minutes.
- After they are cooked to the crispiness you like, put them in a bowl and toss with the minced garlic.
- Have a taste of a fry and add more salt, pepper, or garlic salt to your preferred taste.
- Garnish with parsley and serve!
Answer a question:

Awesome fries! One question, how can I get the garlic to stick to the fries a little more
Karly says
We haven’t found a way to really make it stick well. Kind of like nachos – you just have to dig for the good bits, haha.

I LOVE your emails! You just have a way to speak to my inner child – which is pretty amazing since I am 66. Ha! Age is a number! Anyway, I get a kick out of you saying you could eat fair food all day and never go on a ride! I have printed so many of your recipes and your guide to my air fryer have piqued my curiosity! I’m excited to try them all, but now I have to decide which one to make first! Thank you for so many things and for your honesty and humor! In these horrible times we’re living through, it’s nice to think of something besides the pandemic and the craziness that happened in our nation’s Capital! We’re on to new life, healing and hope! I’m off to make a list of items I need from the grocery store! Thanks so much!!
