Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1½ lb baby potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ tsp chili flakes

Method
 

  1. Wash the baby potatoes, pat them very dry, and cut into halves or quarters.
  2. Add potatoes to a large bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes.
  4. Arrange potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, placing cut sides down when possible.
  5. Air fry for 15 minutes, then shake the basket and spread potatoes back into a single layer.
  6. Continue cooking until deep golden and crisp, 3 minutes more.
  7. Toss hot potatoes with Parmesan, parsley, and chili flakes, then serve immediately.

Notes

- Keep potatoes in a single layer for best crisping; cook in batches if needed.
- For make ahead prep, cut potatoes and store submerged in cold water in the fridge up to 24 hours; drain and pat very dry before seasoning.
- Store leftovers airtight in the fridge up to 4 days; reheat in the air fryer at 380°F for 6 minutes, shaking once.
