Airfryer Crispy Parmesan Potatoes Recipe
Save
Airfryer Crispy Parmesan Potatoes deliver a crunchy, cheesy bite with minimal oil, making them the perfect side for any weeknight dinner. The air‑fryer locks in flavor while giving the potatoes a golden crust that rivals deep‑fried versions.

Ingredients
- 2 lbs (about 4 medium) potatoes, cut into ½‑inch wedges
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp flaky sea salt
- ¼ tsp cracked black pepper

Step-by-Step Instructions
- 1. Preheat the air‑fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
- 2. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil until evenly coated.
- 3. Sprinkle the minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper over the potatoes; toss again to distribute.
- 4. Transfer the seasoned potatoes to the air‑fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overlap.
- 5. Cook for 12 minutes, then shake the basket to turn the wedges.
- 6. Sprinkle grated Parmesan and chopped parsley over the potatoes, then continue cooking 8 more minutes until the edges are deep golden and the cheese is melted.
- 7. Remove, let rest 2 minutes, and serve immediately for maximum crispness.
Tips for Success
- Cut potatoes uniformly so they cook evenly.
- Dry the potato wedges with a clean towel before oiling to enhance crispness.
- Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Add the Parmesan in the final 8 minutes to prevent burning.
- Shake the basket halfway through for an even golden crust.
Storage
Cool the potatoes to room temperature, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air‑fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 4‑5 minutes to restore crispness. Freeze cooked potatoes in a single layer on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag; reheat from frozen for 8‑10 minutes.
Notes
Dry potatoes before oiling for extra crunch. Add cheese at the end to avoid burning.
FAQs
Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?
Yes, but cut them slightly thicker and increase cooking time by 3‑4 minutes, as sweet potatoes brown faster.
Do I need to pre‑soak the potatoes?
Soaking 15 minutes in cold water removes excess starch and yields a crisper texture, but it’s optional for this quick recipe.
What if I don’t have an air‑fryer?
Bake the potatoes on a parchment‑lined sheet at 425°F (220°C) for 25‑30 minutes, turning once, until crisp and golden.
