Drain and Dry: Once parboiled, drain the potatoes and pat them dry using a kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensuring the potatoes are dry is crucial for achieving that crispy exterior.
Seasoning Mix: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix the seasoning well, creating a flavorful blend that will coat the potatoes evenly.
Coat the Potatoes: Add the dried potato chunks to the seasoning mix and toss until each piece is thoroughly coated. The oil in the mixture will help the seasoning adhere to the potatoes, ensuring a burst of flavor in every bite.
Air Frying: Place the seasoned potatoes in the preheated air fryer basket, making sure they are in a single layer to allow for even cooking. Cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time for uniform crispiness.
Check for Doneness: After the cooking time is complete, check the potatoes for doneness. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, with a tender interior. If needed, cook for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Garnish and Serve: Once the roast potatoes are done, transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and added freshness. Serve immediately as a delightful side dish.
