Ingredients
Scale
Let’s take a look at what you’ll need to whip up these delightful potatoes:
- 4 medium-sized potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work great)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh if you have it on hand)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional but highly recommended)
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
If you’re missing something, no worries! You can swap out thyme for rosemary or skip the Parmesan cheese if you’re keeping it dairy-free. Cooking in a real kitchen means flexibility and creativity.
Instructions
Ready to dive in? Here’s how you can make these beauties right at home:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. This ensures the potatoes start cooking immediately.
- Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. You’ll want to keep the skins on for that crispy texture.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each potato into thin, even slices, stopping about 1/4 inch from the bottom. A couple of chopsticks on either side of the potato can help prevent cutting all the way through.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket. Brush half of the butter mixture over the tops and into the slices of the potatoes.
- Air fry the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, checking halfway through. You want them to be tender on the inside and crispy on the edges.
- Once done, remove the potatoes and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if using. Pop them back in for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for that pop of color and freshness.
And there you have it! A dish that’s as impressive as it is simple.
