Ingredients
  

Potatoes
  • 1.5 pounds baby red potatoes, scrubbed clean and halved You can substitute with small Yukon Golds or new potatoes.
Seasoning and Coating
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted For a dairy-free option, use olive oil.
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano Adds an herby note.
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder You can also use granulated garlic.
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese, divided Reserve a little for sprinkling.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C) for 3–5 minutes.
  2. Toss halved potatoes in a large bowl with melted butter, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Mix in half (about 1/4 cup) of the grated Parmesan so it clings to the butter.
Cooking
  1. Arrange potatoes cut-side down in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd—cook in batches if necessary.
  2. Air fry at 400°F for 18–22 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the potatoes halfway through. Cook until skins are golden and a small knife slides in easily.
  3. Transfer potatoes to a serving bowl, toss with the remaining Parmesan, and season with a final pinch of salt if needed.
  4. Serve immediately for best texture. If you prefer a finished brown crust, pop them back into the air fryer for 1–2 minutes after tossing with Parmesan.

Notes

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to restore crispiness. For freezing, cool completely and spread on a baking sheet to flash-freeze, then transfer to freezer bags for up to 3 months.
