air fried potatoes recipe

Description
This creamy garlic parmesan air fried potatoes recipe uses an air fryer to create perfectly crispy edges and fluffy interiors. The potatoes are tossed in a savory spice blend and coated in a gooey Parmesan melt sauce for a comforting side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 lb Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes and Seasonings: Wash the potatoes thoroughly, peel if desired, then cut them into roughly 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes. Pat the potato cubes very dry with a clean kitchen towel to ensure crisp results.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potato cubes with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, fine sea salt, and black pepper. Toss vigorously until all potato pieces are evenly coated.
- Preheat and Arrange in the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for at least 5 minutes. Place the seasoned potato cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer; cook in batches if necessary to prevent overcrowding.
- Air Fry Until Golden Brown: Air fry for 18-22 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously every 6-8 minutes during cooking. Look for a golden-brown exterior and test a potato with a fork to confirm it is tender on the inside.
- Prepare the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Melt: While the potatoes are air frying, prepare the melt sauce. Combine the finely grated Parmesan cheese and vegetable broth in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 15-20 seconds or warm on the stovetop over low heat, stirring constantly until the cheese is mostly melted and forms a thick, pourable, gooey consistency.
- Combine and Serve Immediately: Immediately transfer the hot, crispy air-fried potatoes to a large serving bowl. Pour the warm, creamy garlic parmesan mixture over the potatoes and toss gently but quickly to coat all the potatoes before the cheese cools and stiffens.
- Garnish Before Serving: Generously sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Serve warm alongside your favorite main dishes.
Notes
To achieve maximum crispness, ensure the potato cubes are completely dry before seasoning. Do not substitute fresh garlic for garlic powder, as fresh garlic can burn in the air fryer. If the parmesan melt sauce is too thick, add a little more broth; if too thin, add a pinch more parmesan.
