Step-by-Step Instructions for Air Fryer Red Potatoes
  1. Begin by thoroughly washing your red potatoes to remove any dirt. Cut them into evenly sized halves or quarters.
  2. In a large bowl, drizzle olive oil over the cut potatoes. Sprinkle minced garlic, Italian seasoning, Cajun seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  4. Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding.
  5. Set the air fryer to cook at 400°F for 10 minutes.
  6. After 10 minutes, shake or toss the potatoes for even cooking. Return them to the air fryer.
  7. Continue air frying for another 5-10 minutes until golden-brown and tender.
  8. Transfer the cooked potatoes to a serving dish. Squeeze fresh lemon juice and sprinkle parsley on top.
