HOW TO MAKE PARMESAN POTATOES IN THE AIR FRYER
- Rinse your baby potatoes and pat them dry.
- Slice the potatoes in half, lengthwise, and use a paring knife to make diagonal slits in the potatoes in a diamond pattern, making sure not to cut too deep through the potato but just scoring them.
- Add the sliced, scored potatoes to a mixing bowl and pour in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder and chopped parsley. Toss to fully coat.
- In a separate bowl, melt half a stick of butter then add minced garlic, pepper and grated parmesan cheese.
- Line the bottom of your air fryer basket with foil, making a pouch, then pour in the butter mixture and spread out evenly.
- Next lay the sliced, seasoned baby potatoes face down in the butter mixture, side by side but not overlapping.
- Air Fry on 400 degrees F for 30 minutes.
- Open the basket and let the potatoes cool for about 5 minutes before serving, they will be HOT!
HELPFUL NOTES:
- Remember to turn the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure that they’re nice and crispy on both the sides.
- To keep the potatoes from striking to the surface of the Air Fryer basket, you can also layer the basket with some parchment paper.
