Air Fryer Melting Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds of small Yukon Gold or red potatoes (or any waxy variety)
- 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary (or fresh rosemary, finely chopped)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat Air Fryer: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C), ensuring it reaches the desired temperature for cooking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. You can choose to peel them, but leaving the skin on adds extra texture and flavor. Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices, aiming for uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Season Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary (or fresh if available), salt, and pepper. Toss the ingredients together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings and oil.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the seasoned potato slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the basket to allow for proper air circulation during cooking. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the potatoes in batches.
- Air Fry Potatoes: Air fry the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 15-20 minutes. Remember to shake the basket or turn the potatoes halfway through the cooking process to ensure they cook evenly. Keep an eye on the potatoes as cooking times may vary based on their size and thickness. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the potatoes are cooked to perfection, remove them from the air fryer and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant burst of color and flavor. Serve your air fryer melting potatoes hot as a delightful side dish alongside your favorite dip or sauce.
Note: These flavorful air fryer melting potatoes make a fantastic accompaniment to any meal, from weeknight dinners to holiday feasts. Feel free to customize the seasonings to suit your taste preferences or experiment with different herbs and spices for added variety.
