Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Wash baby potatoes under cold water and cut them in halves or quarters. Soak the potato pieces in cold water for 20 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and use paper towels to pat them dry.
In a mixing bowl, combine the dried potato pieces with olive oil and seasonings. Toss until evenly coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Arrange the coated potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 15-18 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Once golden brown and crispy, remove from the air fryer and toss with grated Parmesan cheese, garnish with parsley and chili flakes, and serve immediately.
