Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs baby potatoes (or fingerling potatoes), halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Red pepper flakes (for a kick)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing and drying the baby potatoes. Cut them in half to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy.

    Make the Seasoning Mix: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, onion powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

      Toss the Potatoes: Add the halved potatoes to the bowl and toss them thoroughly with the seasoning mixture, ensuring that each piece is well coated.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

          Air Fry the Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer for proper air circulation. Cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking.

            Add Parmesan: After 15 minutes, open the air fryer and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes. Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.

              Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the potatoes from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and, if desired, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for an extra kick.

                Enjoy: Serve the Air Fryer Baked Garlic Parmesan Potatoes hot as a delicious side dish or a savory snack!
