How To Make Air Fryer Copycat Red Robin Parmesan Garlic Fries

Air frying frozen steak fries at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway for even cooking

Step One: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400°F. Place frozen steak fries in the air fryer basket, making sure they are evenly spread out in a single layer. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.

Step Two: While the fries cook, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat.

Step Three: Once the fries are golden and crispy, transfer them to a large bowl. Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the fries and toss them well to coat. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley on top. Taste and add salt to your liking. Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, cheesy, and garlicky fries!

Copycat Red Robin’s Garlic Fries Recipe Tips

  • Use Frozen Steak Fries: For the best results, use frozen steak fries as they mimic the texture and size of Red Robin’s fries. You can also opt for fresh fries, but frozen ones tend to crisp up better in the air fryer.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: For crispy fries, make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. If necessary, cook in batches to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • Add Garlic Butter Immediately: To ensure the fries soak up the flavor, toss them in the garlic butter sauce while they’re still hot and fresh out of the air fryer.
  • Fresh Grated Parmesan: For the best cheesy flavor, use fresh-grated Parmesan cheese rather than pre-grated versions, as it melts and coats the fries more evenly.
  • Customize the Seasoning: If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, feel free to add more minced garlic or even garlic powder. You can also experiment with other seasonings like Italian seasoning or crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick.
  • Serve Immediately: These fries are best enjoyed fresh and hot, as the garlic butter and cheese can harden once cooled.
  • Garnish with Fresh Parsley: A sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley not only adds color but also a refreshing flavor that balances the richness of the garlic butter.

Storing

  • Storing: Allow the fries to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container to prevent moisture buildup. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days to maintain freshness.
  • Freezing: For longer storage, freeze the fries by spreading them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container once solidified. You can store frozen fries for up to 1-2 months, but it’s best to freeze them before adding garlic butter and Parmesan for the best texture.
  • Reheating: To reheat, place the fries in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 4-6 minutes, or bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes for a crispy texture. If the garlic butter and Parmesan were stored separately, warm them up and toss with the fries after reheating.

Red Robin Parmesan Garlic Fries Recipe Faqs

Can I use frozen fries instead of fresh ones? Yes, you can use frozen fries in this recipe, but fresh fries will give you a crispier texture. If using frozen, be sure to adjust the cooking time and temperature to ensure they get fully crisp.

Can I make these fries ahead of time? While it’s best to enjoy these fries fresh, you can prepare them ahead by slicing the potatoes and storing them in water in the fridge to prevent browning. Simply cook them when you’re ready to serve.

Can I make these fries without Parmesan cheese? Yes, you can use a different type of cheese like Asiago or Pecorino Romano for a different flavor. However, Parmesan cheese is what gives this recipe its signature flavor.

How can I make these fries spicier? To add some heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes or drizzle hot sauce over the fries before serving. You can also mix chili powder or cayenne pepper with the garlic for an extra kick.

How do I store leftovers? Store any leftover fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the air fryer or oven for the best crispiness.

Can I use pre-made garlic butter instead of making my own? Yes, using store-bought garlic butter is a quick alternative. Just be sure to mix it with Parmesan cheese and toss the fries thoroughly to coat them evenly.

How do I make these fries healthier? You can make this recipe healthier by using sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes and using olive oil spray instead of tossing the fries in oil. This will still give you a crispy texture without the extra calories.
