Air fryer parmesan potatoes are the perfect side dish. The potatoes get roasted in the air fryer, and the parmesan crisps up beautifully for a delicious dish.

Anyone else love how parmesan cheese gets when it gets all crispy? I adore it. The flavor. The texture.

So I realized that the air fryer would crisp it up so nicely and I LOVE the combination of parmesan and potatoes together. So voila! Air fryer crispy parmesan potatoes.

This easily serves 2-3 as a side dish (depending on what else you are serving as a side)! But I put the serving size as 2, just in case you cannot stop eating them like me.

Looking for a different vegetable? Try these air fryer parmesan carrots.

Ingredients

  • Baby potatoes or small red potatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic powder
  • Dried oregano (or other dried herb)
  • Shredded parmesan cheese
  • Salt

Recipe tips

  • All air fryers cook differently. Adjust cooking times as needed.
  • Definitely wait to add the parmesan cheese until after potatoes are cooking. This way it will get nice and crispy without burning.
  • Using air fryer parchment paper can help the parmesan cheese from falling through the air fryer basket.

How to customize

These crispy parmesan potatoes are so easy to customize by just switching up the herbs and spices.

Want them smokier? Add a bit of chipotle chili powder or smoked paprika.

Want them spicy? Add some red pepper flakes or a pinch of ground cayenne pepper.

Want a different herb? Swap out the oregano for thyme, herbs de provence, or Italian seasoning.
