Air frying technology has revolutionized the way we prepare our favorite fried foods. Instead of submerging food in hot oil, air fryers use a unique method of cooking that circulates hot air around the food, creating a crispy texture similar to traditional frying but with far less oil. This innovation caters to health-conscious individuals who crave that satisfying crunch without the guilt.

Ingredients
  

1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the baby potatoes under cold water and cut them in half or quarters depending on their size. For even cooking, try to keep the pieces roughly the same size.

    Make the Seasoning Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the garlic is evenly distributed.

      Coat the Potatoes: Add the halved or quartered potatoes to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture until fully coated. Ensure all surfaces of the potatoes are covered for maximum flavor.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This step ensures that the potatoes will start cooking immediately and crisply up nicely.

          Air Fry the Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer; it's best to not overcrowd the basket for even cooking. Air fry for 15 minutes.

            Add the Parmesan: After 15 minutes, remove the basket and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes. Toss lightly to distribute the cheese then return to the air fryer.

              Finish Cooking: Air fry for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

                Serve: Once done, carefully remove the potatoes from the air fryer and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your crispy, flavorful garlic Parmesan potatoes!
