Notes

You can use homemade french fries if you prefer.
To air fry, follow the instructions on the bag OR set air fryer to 400°F and fry for 20 minutes, shaking halfway through.
If you don't have garlic salt, you can make your own using a ratio of 3 parts kosher salt to 1 part garlic powder.
Feel free to change up the seasonings to suit your tastes.

Storage: Store garlic parmesan fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
