Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Potatoes (e.g., baby potatoes or cut into wedges) Baby potatoes keep the interior creamy; larger ones should be cut into even-sized pieces.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil Just enough to coat the potatoes evenly.
  • 2 cloves Garlic (fresh, minced) Provides aromatic flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated) Adds umami and crispiness.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt For seasoning.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper Freshly ground for mild spice.
Optional Garnish
  • 1 tablespoon Parsley (chopped) For garnish; adds bright flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
Cooking
  1. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  2. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
  3. Remove from the air fryer and garnish with parsley if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For best results, ensure even-sized potato pieces to promote even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
