Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or just looking for a comforting meal addition, these potatoes are sure to impress. Here’s how to make them.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups potatoes (about 2 lbs), cubed
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder (or to taste)
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Prepare the Potatoes: Start by cutting the potatoes into one-inch cubes. This size is ideal for ensuring that each piece cooks evenly and gets sufficiently crispy.
- Season: Place the cubed potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add the extra virgin olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning. This step is crucial as it ensures each potato piece is flavorful and delicious.
- Cook: Transfer the seasoned potatoes to your air fryer basket. Arrange them in a single layer to promote even cooking. Set the air fryer to 375°F and cook for about 30 minutes. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you might need to do this in two batches to avoid overcrowding, which could impact the crispiness.
