Ingredients
  

2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for a cheesy finish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: Start by peeling the russet potatoes. Rinse them under cold water and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Soak the potato cubes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which will help achieve extra crispiness.

    Drain and Dry: After soaking, drain the potato cubes and pat them dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel. Removing moisture is crucial for crispy results.

      Season: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the potato cubes to the bowl and toss well until each cube is evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This step ensures that the potato cubes start cooking immediately for that perfect crisp.

          Air Fry the Potatoes: Place the seasoned potato cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to do this in batches depending on your air fryer size. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crispness.

            Check for Doneness: The potatoes are ready when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. You can extend the cooking time by a few minutes if you prefer them extra crispy.

              Serve: Once done, transfer the crispy garlic potato cubes to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

                Enjoy: These garlic potato cubes can be served as a delicious appetizer, side dish, or snack. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra flavor kick!
