Homemade Parmentier Potatoes in air fryer recipe below
While you can easily find pre-seasoned parmentier potatoes at UK supermarkets like Tesco, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, and ASDA, they still require air frying or baking to achieve the desired crispy texture. In my recipe, we skip the parboiling step and instead toss the potatoes with oil, salt, and pepper. Then air fry them for approximately 12 minutes. Then towards the end, add the garlic and herbs for an extra punch of deliciousness and air fry until crispy, crunchy, and bursting with flavour. Serve these crispy and fragrant Parmentier Potatoes as a side dish for roast dinners, mid-week meals, or any occasion where you want to elevate your potato game.

Soak: Place the soaked potatoes in bowl of cold water as you cube them.

Air fry: Transfer the seasoned potatoes to the air fryer basket. Air fry at 392 F / 200°C for 12 minutes, flipping them once halfway through the cooking time. Add herbs and garlic: Add diced garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the potatoes and toss in the air fryer. Air fry again: Air fry for an additional 6-9 minutes until the potatoes turn crispy again. Remove from the air fryer and serve the deliciously crispy Parmentier potatoes. When you are ready to serve, take the partially cooked potatoes out of the refrigerator and add diced garlic and herbs to them in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8-10 minutes until they become crispy on the outside. This make-ahead method is perfect for festive occasions like Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving, as well as for large gatherings when you have limited time available. It allows you to save time and have the potatoes ready to be crisped up before serving, making your meal preparation much easier and more efficient. In the freezer: Cool the leftover Parmentier potatoes, transfer them to a freezer-safe container, and freeze for up to 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat until crispy for a quick and tasty meal.
Variations
Can I make Parmentier potatoes in the oven?
Yes, Parmentier potatoes can be easily made in the oven. Begin by parboiling the potatoes for 5 minutes, then drain and let them rest for 5 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) with a baking pan and oil inside. Toss the potatoes with salt and pepper, then place them in the preheated pan and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, add minced garlic and herbs to the potatoes, and toss to combine. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the potatoes turn crispy
What air fryer do you use?
I can highly recommend Instant Pot Vortex 6 in 1 with 5.7l capacity and Instant Pot Vortex Versazone with 8.5l capacity. Both are reliable options to achieve crispy parmentier style potato cubes and other air-fried recipes with ease.
