Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups (907 grams) potatoes, cubed
- ⅓ cup (33 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Dice potatoes into uniform cubes, ensuring each piece is roughly one inch in size to promote even cooking and consistent texture.
- Transfer potato cubes into a spacious mixing vessel, preparing them for seasoning and flavor infusion.
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the potato cubes, allowing the liquid to generously coat each piece for optimal crispiness.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper across the potatoes, creating a robust and aromatic seasoning blend.
- Thoroughly toss and massage the potato mixture, guaranteeing each cube is completely enveloped in the herbed and cheesy coating.
- Carefully arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single, uncrowded layer within the air fryer basket, preventing overcrowding that could impede crispy results.
- Configure the air fryer to 375°F, initiating a precise cooking process that will transform the potatoes into golden, crisp morsels.
- Allow potatoes to air fry for approximately 25-30 minutes, periodically shaking the basket midway to ensure uniform browning and crunchiness.
- If your air fryer has limited capacity, cook potatoes in multiple batches, maintaining the single-layer arrangement for consistently crisp results.
- Once potatoes develop a deep golden exterior and tender interior, remove from air fryer and serve immediately while piping hot and supremely crunchy.
Notes
- Crisp exterior comes from high-heat air circulation in the fryer, creating golden-brown edges without excess oil.
- Parmesan cheese adds rich umami flavor and helps develop a deliciously crunchy coating during cooking.
- Kitchen hack ensures even cooking by shaking the basket midway through air frying, preventing soggy potato spots and promoting uniform browning.
