    Air fryer Parmentier Potatoes Recipe (cubed potatoes)

    Cubed and diced potatoes tend to cook faster than whole roasted potatoes for obvious reasons. That’s exactly why this potato dish is my go to recipe when we want a quick delicious side dish for dinner. These go with anything including sauces like ketchup.

    Roasting potatoes parmentier in the air fryer vs the baking rack and oven is my favorite way to make these spuds. Why? The air fryer cooks faster than the oven in many cases and more often we’ve too hungry to wait for the oven.

    What is Parmentier Potatoes

    Parmentia potatoes are different from other French potatoes recipes like the French potatoes with onions and peppers and the French potato casserole.

    They are simply herbed potatoes that are tossed in oil or butter, garlic and herbs. These were named after an 18th century French Pharmacist who made the consumption of potatoes popular in France.

    Tips

    • Parboil the potatoes till water begins to boil takes about 5-7 minutes.
    • Salt the water for boiling the potatoes.
    • Do not shake the potatoes while in the colander as this will scuff the edges making the potatoes lose its cubed shape.
    • Recipe was made in a non preheated air fryer.

    Air Fryer Yum’s Pro Tip! Air fryer temperatures may vary depending on size, make and model. When making a recipe for the first time, start with less time, check for doneness then add more time as needed.

    Frequently asked questions

    Where do Parmentier potatoes come from?

    Parmentier potatoes are potatoes. Potatoes were said to have been introduced to France by the Spaniards. It was formally regarded as animal feed and not good for humans until a pharmacist by the name Antoin-Augustin Parmentier shed more light on the benefits of potatoes after eating mostly potatoes during his stay in prison in Prussia.

    Because of his influence in making potatoes popular in France, this potato dish was named after him.

    Do potatoes need to be boiled before roasting?

    Potatoes don’t necessarily need to be boiled before roasting. However boiling can help make it more fluffy in the inside with crispy edges.
