    How to Make Crispy Air-Fried Herbed Potatoes with Lemon-Garlic Zest

    1. Prep and Toss

    In a mixing bowl, combine the halved potatoes with extra-virgin olive oil, table salt, and ground black pepper until they are evenly coated.

    2. Air-Fry to Perfection

    Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in the air-fryer basket. Set the air-fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes. Halfway through, shake or toss the potatoes to ensure even browning and crispiness. The potatoes should be tender, well-browned, and have a crisp exterior when done.

    3. Herb and Zest Toss

    Transfer the cooked potatoes back to the bowl. Add the chopped fresh parsley, grated lemon zest, and minced garlic to the potatoes. Toss everything until the potatoes are evenly coated with the herb and zest mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.

    Variations

    Garlic Parmesan Potatoes

    After air-frying, toss the hot potatoes with minced fresh garlic and shredded Parmesan cheese, allowing the residual heat to melt the cheese slightly.

    Spicy Cajun Potatoes

    Use a Cajun spice blend that includes paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, and onion powder. Serve with a side of remoulade or cool ranch dressing.

    Asian-Inspired Potatoes

    Use sesame oil as your fat, and season with a blend of five-spice powder, ginger, and garlic. Finish with a drizzle of soy sauce and sprinkle of green onions and sesame seeds.

    Mediterranean Style

    Swap out the herbs for a blend of za'atar and sumac, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkling of feta cheese crumbles after cooking.

    Protein-Enhanced Potatoes

    Toss cooked, diced bacon, chorizo, or andouille sausage with the potatoes after air-frying for a hearty, protein-packed dish.
