Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes are a delicious and nutritious side dish that complements a variety of meals. The combination of crispy potatoes, aromatic garlic, and rich Parmesan cheese makes for an irresistible flavor profile that will please any palate. Air frying these potatoes allows for a golden-brown crispiness while using minimal oil, making it a healthier choice without sacrificing taste.
In this recipe, we’ll coat diced potatoes in a blend of garlic, Parmesan cheese, and herbs, then cook them in the air fryer for a perfectly crispy finish. The air fryer circulates hot air, ensuring that every piece gets evenly cooked and crispy. This method not only enhances the flavor but also keeps the potatoes light and fluffy on the inside. Whether you’re serving them with grilled chicken, fish, or a hearty salad, these Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes will become a staple in your meal rotation.
Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Gold, cut into quarters
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly. If using baby potatoes, cut them in half or quarters. If using larger potatoes, cut them into evenly sized cubes.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the potato pieces and toss until they are evenly coated in the mixture.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes and toss again to ensure the cheese adheres well.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving the crispy texture.
- Air Fry the Potatoes: Place the coated potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Check for Doneness: The potatoes are ready when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and fork-tender on the inside. Adjust cooking time as needed based on the size of your potato pieces.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
