In a large bowl, mash the boiled and cooled potatoes thoroughly with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Ensure there are no large lumps.

Add the extra virgin olive oil, cornstarch, grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes.

Mix all ingredients with a fork until well combined and the mixture forms a cohesive, slightly sticky dough. It should be firm enough to handle.

Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on a clean, flat surface. Transfer the potato mixture onto the plastic wrap. Using a spatula or your hands, flatten the mixture evenly into a rectangular shape, approximately 1/2 inch thick.

Using a sharp knife, cut the flattened potato dough into fry-shaped strips, about 1/2 inch wide and 2 to 3 inches long. You can make cuts both horizontally and vertically to achieve this.

Preheat your air fryer to 380°F. Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper, if desired, to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup. Carefully transfer the potato strips to the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd it. You may need to cook in batches.

Air fry for 18 to 25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through (around 10 to 12 minutes), until the fries are golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model and desired crispiness.

Remove the crispy potato fries from the air fryer and serve hot, optionally with your favorite dipping sauce.
