- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

- Air fry at 400°F / 204°C for 16–20 minutes, shaking the basket 2–3 times during cooking, until potatoes are golden and fork-tender.
- Transfer to a bowl. Toss with Parmesan and parsley if using. Serve immediately.
Chef's Notes
Chef's Notes: Uniform sizing ensures even cooking. Shake the basket every 5–6 minutes for consistent crisping. Air fryer wattage varies; start checking at 16 minutes. These reheat well in the air fryer at 350°F for 4–5 minutes.
