- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions for making Rosemary Garlic Potatoes
- Turn on the air fryer and select the “Air Crisp” function. Set the temperature to 400°F and adjust the timer to 18 minutes. Press “Start” to pre-heat the unit.
- While the unit pre-heats, combine the potatoes, olive oil, dried rosemary, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Add salt and black pepper, to taste, and toss to combine.
- When the air fryer beeps and flashes “Add Food,” pour the seasoned potatoes into the basket and spread into an even layer without overcrowding. Close the lid to start air frying.
- After 9 minutes, lift the lid and carefully turn the potatoes with a plastic spatula so they brown evenly, making sure they are still in a single, even layer. Close the lid and continue air frying until cook time is complete.
- Transfer potatoes to a serving bowl or platter and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Garnish with sprigs of fresh rosemary and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Storage
Rosemary Garlic Potatoes are a delicious appetizer staple for almost any occasion and storage depends on the recipe itself. If you're making them to prepare ahead of time for a party or event gathering, they can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. While it may be tempting to store them in the freezer, homemade recipes like these are best served fresh and reheated when ready to be served. Make sure to practice safe storage and handling of food by following the storage guidelines given with the recipe and always refrigerate as soon as possible after cooking.
Top tip
Having the perfect recipe for Rosemary Garlic Potatoes is a must have appetizer at any event. To make sure they turn out delicious every time, there are some top tips to keep in mind. First, preferably an air-fryer should be used for roasting the potatoes. This ensures that they are not soggy from sitting in oil, yet still crispy and golden on the outside. Moreover, when seasoning the potatoes before roasting, use plenty of rosemary and garlic powder: these two go perfectly together! However, be careful not to go too overboard as it can overpower the rest of the flavors. Finally, top them with freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a special touch of flavor to make them even more irresistible!
