Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
Seasoning
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Extra grated parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash, scrub, and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato in half to ensure they cook evenly and crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, grated parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, optional paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well until all potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for 3 to 5 minutes to ensure optimal crispness when cooking.
- Cook the Potatoes: Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crispiness on all sides.
- Garnish and Serve: When the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle with additional grated parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley for a burst of flavor and color. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
