Ingredients
- 1 pound baby potatoes cleaned and dried
- 2 tablespoons oil of choice olive oil recommended
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your cooking method: air fryer or oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cleaned and dried baby potatoes with oil and melted butter. Toss until well-coated.
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Add grated Parmesan cheese and toss to coat evenly.
Cooking
- If using an air fryer, place potatoes in a single layer in the basket and cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking halfway through.
- If using the oven, spread potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Check for crispiness and tenderness by piercing a potato with a fork. Potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Remove potatoes from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a side dish or snack!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the air fryer or oven to maintain crispiness instead of using a microwave.
- Substitute butter with vegan butter or omit to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- Try adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for added aroma and flavor.
- For a spicy twist, add cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the seasoning mix.
