🥔 Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Potato Rounds

✅ Servings: 4

⏱ Prep Time: 10 minutes

⏱ Cook Time: 15 minutes

⏱ Total Time: 25 minutes

📋 Ingredients:

• 2–3 medium russet potatoes or Yukon Gold (about 1.5 lbs)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon onion powder (optional)

• ½ teaspoon paprika

• ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

• Optional dipping sauce: ranch, garlic aioli, spicy mayo, etc.

🥣 Instructions:

1. Prep the Potatoes

• Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly.

• Leave the skin on for texture, or peel if you prefer.

• Slice into ¼-inch thick rounds using a knife or mandoline for even thickness.

2. Optional (For Extra Crispiness):

• Soak slices in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

• Drain and pat completely dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.

3. Season

• In a large mixing bowl, add:

  • Potato slices

  • Olive oil

  • Garlic powder

  • Onion powder (if using)

  • Paprika

  • Salt & pepper

  • Half of the Parmesan cheese (about 2–3 tablespoons)

• Toss well until all rounds are evenly coated.

4. Air Fry

• Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.

• Place the potato rounds in the basket in a single layer (you may need to do 2 batches depending on your air fryer size).

• Air fry for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through at the 6–7 minute mark.

  • They’re done when golden, crisp on the edges, and fork-tender in the center.

5. Finish & Serve

• While hot, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the rounds.

• Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

• Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

🔁 Storage & Reheating:

• Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.

• Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 4–5 minutes to re-crisp.

💡 Tips & Variations:

• Cheesy twist: Add shredded mozzarella or cheddar during the last 2 minutes of cooking for melty potato bites.

• Spicy version: Add a pinch of cayenne or chili flakes to the seasoning.

• Loaded: Top with sour cream, bacon bits, and green onions for a loaded snack.

• Low-sodium option: Reduce salt and use unsalted Parmesan.
