Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Potato Preparation
  • 4 pieces Potatoes Cut into wedges or cubes
Cheesy Coating
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese Finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil For browning and flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika For flavor and color
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and cut the potatoes into wedges or cubes, ensuring similar sizes for even cooking.
Coating
  1. In a bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss until evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  2. Air fry for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
  3. Check for deep golden spots and crisp edges; potatoes should be tender when tested.
Serving
  1. Serve warm, best enjoyed straight from the basket for maximum crunch.

Notes

For consistent cooking, keep cut sizes uniform. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure crispiness. The Parmesan can be added beforehand for a cheesier flavor; serve hot for the best texture.
