Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes (about 1.5 lbs) (700g)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (30ml)
• 1 teaspoon salt (5g)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (2g)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (2g)
• 1 cup shredded cheese, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix (4 oz) (115g)
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, optional (0.5 oz) (15g)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, optional (0.14 oz) (4g)

Instructions

1. Preheat your air oven with top heating to 400°F (200°C).
2. Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if desired, then cut into 1/2-inch (1.25cm) thick slices or wedges.
3. Place the potato slices in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
4. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the air oven tray or basket. Make sure the pieces do not overlap for even cooking.
5. Cook the potatoes in the air oven for 18-22 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and tender.
6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the cooked potatoes. Add Parmesan cheese if using.
7. Switch the air oven to top heating (broil or grill mode if available) and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Tip

For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or your favorite herbs to the potatoes before baking.
