# Components:
→ Potatoes
01 - 4 medium russet potatoes, thoroughly scrubbed
→ Seasoning
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
→ Optional Toppings
07 - 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese (omit for vegan preparation)
08 - 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
09 - 1/2 teaspoon crushed chili flakes
# Method:
01 - Slide a long wooden or metal skewer lengthwise through the center of each potato.
02 - With the skewer secured, carefully slice each potato in a spiral pattern using a sharp knife, rotating the potato as you cut from one end to the other. Gently pull sections apart along the skewer to space out the spirals evenly.
03 - In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
04 - Brush or rub the seasoning mixture thoroughly onto each spiral-cut potato, ensuring the mixture coats all exposed surfaces and crevices.
05 - Set the air fryer to 375°F and preheat for 3 minutes.
06 - Place skewered potatoes into the air fryer basket without overlapping or touching.
07 - Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until potatoes are golden brown and crisp.
08 - Finish by sprinkling Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and chili flakes as desired before serving.
