Crispy Air Fryer Potatoes
Description
This recipe begins by tossing pre-washed baby red potatoes with extra-virgin olive oil and a blend of seasonings including garlic and onion powders, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, and grated Parmesan cheese. The seasoned potatoes are spread in a single layer in the air fryer basket, taking care not to overcrowd for even cooking.
They air fry at a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit for a total of about 18-20 minutes, shaking and stirring midway to ensure even crisping. The result is potatoes with a crunchy, seasoned exterior contrasted by soft, fluffy interiors. The Parmesan adds a savory, slightly nutty taste while smoked paprika provides subtle smokiness.
Before serving, the potatoes are garnished with fresh parsley for color and brightness, and a squeeze of lemon juice adds a pleasant fresh acidity that balances the richness. These potatoes pair well with a variety of main courses or make a satisfying snack.
