Method
 

  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients. It’s important to have everything ready to go so that the process flows smoothly. Grab a large bowl and toss in your halved baby red potatoes.
  2. Next, drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the potatoes. This will help them achieve that golden crispiness. Make sure every potato is lightly coated.
  3. Now, add the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, Kosher salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Use your hands or a spatula to toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the spices.
  4. Once your potatoes are well-seasoned, it’s time to preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F. Preheating is crucial for achieving that perfect crisp.
  5. When the air fryer is ready, carefully place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket. Be careful not to overcrowd; working in batches might be necessary to ensure even cooking.
  6. Let the potatoes cook for 10 minutes. This initial cooking phase will help them start to soften and develop that crispy exterior.
  7. After 10 minutes, shake the basket to toss the potatoes. This helps them cook evenly and ensures every side gets that gorgeous crisp. Cook for an additional 8 to 10 minutes.
  8. Keep an eye on the potatoes as they cook. You want them to turn a beautiful golden brown and become crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside.
  9. Once they look perfect, carefully remove them from the air fryer basket and transfer them to a serving dish.
  10. Finish off your Crispy Air Fryer Potatoes by sprinkling the grated parmesan cheese over the top and garnishing with fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

When storing leftovers, make sure to keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you want to enjoy them later, try reheating them in the air fryer for the best results!
