Air Fryer Crispy Parmesan Potatoes

Air Fryer Crispy Parmesan Potatoes take a fraction of the time as oven roasted potatoes and are so much crispier and crunchier. Toss potatoes in parmesan and some staple spices then let the air fryer do the work!

Ingredients for the Air Fryer Crispy Potatoes:

It only takes a few simple ingredients to make crispy, crunchy, cheesy potatoes in your air fryer. Here's what you need:

• Potatoes - I prefer to use russet potatoes. Russets can also be used in this recipe for Hasselback Potatoes or Air Fryer Baked Potatoes.
• Olive Oil - You can use another oil of choice such as canola oil or vegetable oil.
• Spices - Garlic Powder, Salt, Pepper
• Grated Parmesan Cheese - I often use the kind in a can! If you use fresh, make sure it's grated finely. The key is for it to form a crunchy coating on the potatoes.

How to Make Roasted Potatoes in the Air Fryer

Making potatoes in the air fryer is so easy. Just toss the potatoes with a little oil, spices, and parmesan. See the instructions below:

1. Prep the Potatoes: Wash and dry your potatoes then cut into 1-inch cubes.
2. Toss Potatoes: Toss the potatoes with the oil, spices, and parmesan cheese until evenly coated.
3. Air Fryer: Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray then add the coated potatoes. Air Fry, giving the basket a shake a little over halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy, golden, and fork tender.

FAQ's

What is an Air Fryer?

An air fryer is essentially a compact countertop convection oven. A fan circulates the hot air at a quick speed which creates a crispy layer on foods without needing to fry in oil. I have this version from Phillips but there are many options on the market! I recommend choosing one with the right size for your family.

How do you know when potatoes are done?

Potatoes are done when they are fork tender. Fork tender means you can easily pierce the potatoes with a fork. These potatoes should also be golden and crunchy on the outside.

Leftovers, Storage, and Reheating

Air Fryer crispy parmesan potatoes are crispiest and best served right after making, but see below for tips on how to store and reheat leftovers.

Leftovers and Storage: Leftover potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. They will keep fresh for up to 4 days.

Reheating: For best results, I recommend reheating the leftover potatoes in the air fryer or oven at 300F until warmed through and crispy again. If you microwave the potatoes, they will be softer.

Recipe Notes and Tips:

• Double the Recipe to Feed the Whole Family - this recipe can easily be doubled to serve more! Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to air fry in two batches.
• Use Even Sized Pieces - For even cooking, it's best to use even-sized pieces of potatoes. Keep this in mind when chopping and dicing.
