Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
Wash and scrub the potatoes—no need to peel.
Slice them into ¼-inch thick rounds for even cooking.
Step 2: Season
In a mixing bowl, toss potato slices with olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coat evenly to ensure every round gets flavor.
Step 3: Air Fry
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Arrange the potato rounds in a single layer in the basket (cook in batches if needed).
Air fry for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
Step 4: Add the Parmesan Magic
While still hot, sprinkle Parmesan over the rounds so it melts slightly.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serving Ideas
Pair them with ranch, spicy aioli, or marinara dipping sauce.
Serve alongside burgers, grilled chicken, or steak.
Make them the star of the plate—stacked high with extra cheese and bacon bits.
Tips for Perfect Potato Rounds
Choose starchy potatoes (like russet) for crispiness, or Yukon golds for a buttery bite.
Don’t overcrowd the basket—this ensures even air circulation.
Parmesan at the end keeps it from burning while still giving that cheesy crunch.

Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Potato Rounds strike the perfect balance between indulgent and simple. With minimal ingredients and maximum flavor, they’re the kind of dish you’ll whip up on weeknights, weekends, and whenever snack cravings hit. Crispy, cheesy, and garlicky—what’s not to love?
