Air Fryer Crispy Parmesan & Butter Potatoes – the latest craze that’s taking the internet by storm. While many have been whipping up these delectable potatoes in the oven, I’ve put my own spin on them with an air-fried version that’s guaranteed to please. And let’s be honest – these potatoes may not be the healthiest option out there, but sometimes you just need to treat yourself, right?
Why Use an Air Fryer for This Recipe?
An air fryer cooks potatoes quickly and evenly, achieving that desirable crispy texture without the need for excessive oil. This method not only makes the dish healthier than traditional frying but also significantly reduces cooking time (what might take 30-40 minutes in an oven) can be done in about 20 minutes in an air fryer. Additionally, air fryers are easy to clean, making them a convenient choice for busy cooks who want to enjoy tasty meals without the hassle of extensive cleanup.
Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Crispy Parmesan & Butter Potatoes
To ensure your Air Fryer Crispy Parmesan & Butter Potatoes turn out perfectly every time, keep these tips in mind:
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will provide a richer flavour and better texture compared to pre-packaged.
- For optimal crispiness, make sure the potatoes are arranged in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Shake or toss the potatoes halfway through to ensure they cook evenly and achieve that perfect golden colour.
What to Serve with Crispy Parmesan & Butter Potatoes
Crispy Parmesan & Butter Potatoes pair well with a wide range of dishes, making them a versatile side option. They complement grilled meats like chicken or steak beautifully, adding a crunchy texture that contrasts nicely with tender proteins. Additionally, they can be served alongside roasted vegetables or salads for a balanced meal. For a casual snack, enjoy them with dips like sour cream or garlic aioli.
Creative Seasoning Ideas For Air Fryer Potatoes
While this recipe focuses on Parmesan and butter, feel free to get creative with your seasonings! Here are some ideas to mix things up:
- Add dried herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or Italian seasoning for an aromatic twist.
- For some heat, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes or smoked paprika into the mix.
- Incorporate garlic powder or fresh minced garlic for an extra layer of flavour.
