Start by cutting the baby potatoes in half or quarters, depending on their size. This ensures they cook evenly and allows for maximum crispy surface area. You’ll want them to be roughly the same size for the best results.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut potatoes with the garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well coated. The garlic will release its flavors, and the oil will help the potatoes crisp up.
Next, transfer the seasoned potatoes to your air fryer basket. Use tongs to turn them skin-side down, arranging them in a single layer. This ensures they cook evenly and get that delicious crunch.
Air fry the potatoes at 200°C (390°F) for about 14 minutes. Halfway through, give the basket a good shake to ensure all sides get crispy. You might want to check them around the 10-minute mark; you want them golden brown and fork-tender.
Once they're done, carefully remove the basket from the air fryer. Garnish the hot potatoes with freshly chopped parsley. If you’re feeling adventurous, a squeeze of lemon over the top can really brighten things up!
Serve hot and enjoy your Air Fryer Baby Potatoes. If desired, offer them with ranch for dipping to take things to another level. These little bites are perfect for finger food or as a side dish to your favorite main course.
