Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the potatoes: Wash and dry the baby potatoes, then cut them into halves or quarters for even cooking.
Season: In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Air fry: Spread the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crispiness.
Add Parmesan (Optional): If using, sprinkle grated Parmesan over the potatoes during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.

Garnish & serve: Remove from the air fryer, toss with fresh parsley, and enjoy immediately!

Notes

Crispier potatoes: Soak the cut potatoes in water for 15 minutes, then pat dry before seasoning to remove excess starch.
Use different potatoes: Yukon Golds or Russets also work well, just cut them into 1-inch pieces.

Make it spicy: Add ¼ tsp cayenne pepper or a drizzle of hot sauce
