Ingredients You Need
Using baby yellow or Yukon gold potatoes is ideal because they have a naturally buttery texture and thin skins, meaning no peeling is required. Freshly grated parmesan melts beautifully into the hot potatoes.
How to Make It
Toss cubed potatoes in olive oil and seasonings, then air fry until golden and crispy. While they cook, melt butter with minced garlic and fresh parsley. Immediately toss the hot potatoes in the garlic butter and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Tips for Success
For the crispiest potatoes, soak the cubes in cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch, then dry them completely before seasoning.
