Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the potato cubes in a bowl and soak them in cold water for at least 15 minutes. Drain the water completely and pat the potatoes very dry with paper towels. This step helps achieve crispiness.
- In the same bowl, toss the dry potato cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry for 15 minutes. Shake the basket well.
- Continue to air fry for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the basket from the air fryer. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes and toss gently to coat.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Drying the potatoes thoroughly after soaking is the most important step for achieving a crispy exterior.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches for the best texture.
- For extra garlic flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of granulated garlic to the oil mixture, but be careful not to burn it.
