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

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.

What to serve with the potatoes

Appetizers - Smoked salmon crostini, pan con tomate, peach panzanella, air fryer pesto shrimp

Main dishes - Air fryer sockeye salmon, air fryer Greek chicken thighs, Calabrian chicken, air fryer pesto salmon

Other sides - Air fryer tomatoes, air fryer leeks, air fryer lemon asparagus

Desserts - Air fryer caramelized bananas, air fryer cinnamon apples, frozen lemonade pie, chess bars

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.
