Instructions: For 5 minutes, heat your air fryer up to 400F 200C. Add the potato fries to a large bowl and mix in the Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Do this until the fries are well covered. Use cooking spray on the air fryer basket to keep food from sticking. Spread the seasoned potato fries out in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't touch each other. Depending on how big your air fryer is, you might have to cook them one at a time. To make sure the fries are cooked all the way through, shake the basket every 5 minutes while the fries are cooking at 400F 200C. They are done when they are golden brown and crispy. Serve right away while still hot. If you want, you can add more grated Parmesan and lemon zest as a garnish.
