If you're looking for a delicious and easy way to cook potatoes, try making Air Fryer Parmentier Potatoes. These crispy, golden-brown potatoes are infused with the robust flavors of olive oil and garlic, making them the perfect side dish for any meal. The air fryer not only speeds up the cooking process but also creates a healthier alternative to traditional frying methods.

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Peel the potatoes (if desired) and cut them into small, even-sized cubes, about 1-inch pieces.
- Rinse the potato cubes under cold water to remove excess starch. This will help them crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
- Pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
2. Seasoning:
- Place the potato cubes in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes.
- Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
- Toss the potatoes thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Air Frying:
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Place the seasoned potato cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure even cooking. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning.
4. Checking for Doneness:
- After 15 minutes, check the potatoes for doneness. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- If needed, continue cooking for an additional 2-5 minutes until the desired crispiness is reached.
5. Serving:
- Transfer the air-fried Parmentier potatoes to a serving dish.
- Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped herbs like parsley or rosemary for an added burst of flavor and color.
6. Enjoy:
- Serve the Air Fryer Parmentier Potatoes hot as a delicious side dish with your favorite main course.

Tips:

- Uniform Size: Cut the potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking. This helps all the potato pieces crisp up at the same rate.

- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding the potatoes. This helps to achieve a crispy exterior.

- Avoid Overcrowding: Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Overcrowding can result in uneven cooking.

- Shake the Basket: Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking to ensure that the potatoes cook evenly and become crispy on all sides.

- Season to Taste: Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices before air frying. Popular additions include rosemary, thyme, paprika, or even a sprig of parsley for garnish.

- Check for Doneness: Test a potato cube with a fork or knife to check for doneness. The exterior should be golden and crispy, while the inside should be tender.

Air Fryer Parmentier Potatoes are a delightful addition to any meal, offering a crispy texture and rich flavor that is hard to resist. With minimal ingredients and a straightforward cooking process, this recipe is both easy to follow and rewarding. Whether you're preparing a weeknight dinner or a special occasion feast, these potatoes are sure to impress.
