    What are Parmentier Potatoes?

    Parmentier potatoes are roasted cubes of potatoes, usually seasoned with herbs and garlic.

    The dish originated in France and non-vegetarian or vegan versions sometimes contain bacon. It's usually served as a side dish 

    The dish is named after Antoine-Augustin Parmentier, who popularised eating potatoes in France. Previously it had been used for hog feed, but Parmentier was an army medic who was captured in Prussia where it was a staple foodstuff. He left the prison in good health, which he put down to his spud-heavy diet.

    Parmentier promoted potatoes in Europe upon his return, and nowadays French menus often write Parmentier to show that it's a potato-based dish.

    It's a simple, rustic potato side dish that's sure to be a hit on your table.

    Cubed potatoes - Parmentier Potatoes

    It's funny how just changing a food's shape has such a drastic impact on its taste and/or texture.

    Potatoes are cut into fries, scalloped potato slices, cubes or wedges. They're baked whole or mashed. Roasted in large pieces or boiled. Deep fried, air fried, cooked in the instant pot or steamed. All those methods seem drastically different to each other.

    Making potatoes my top versatile food. I can't think of any other that can be cooked so many ways.

    But for this recipe, simply cutting them into cubes and then baking / roasting them makes them utterly incredible.

    Air Fryer Cubed Potatoes

    You can absolutely make these diced potatoes in the air fryer! It makes them lower calorie and just as delicious.

    Just cut them into cubes, then air fry them with finely chopped rosemary, a few cloves of garlic, a tiny bit of oil and cook until they're lovely and crispy all over.

    Equipment

    • Baking tray
    • Knife

    Ingredients
     

    • 3 tablespoon oil
    • 4 cups peeled cubed potatoes (750g, approx 6 medium potatoes) (Yukon gold, russet, maris piper etc...)
    • 4 cloves garlic
    • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
    • Sea salt and black pepper

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 425F / 220C.
    • Peel the potatoes and cut them into small ½ inch (1cm) cubes.
    • Add the potato cubes to a large pot of cold, salted water and bring to the boil. When it starts fully boiling, drain the potatoes in a colander/sieve. Leave the potatoes in the colander over the pot for a few minutes to steam and dry out. You could also pat them dry with a tea towel.
    • Chop half of the rosemary finely and mince/crush the garlic.
    • Add the potatoes, garlic and chopped rosemary to a baking tray in a single layer. Don't crowd them and use two trays if necessary. Drizzle the potatoes with the oil and season, then toss to coat. Add the rosemary to the tray(s) and place in the oven.
    • Roast for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally so the parmentier potatoes are evenly browned.

      This was so simple and delicious. Rosemary pairs so well with potatoes. Can I use frozen cubed potatoes in a pinch?

      This is my kind of side dish. My kids will always eat potatoes and especially these roasted with garlic and herbs. Perfect side for a steak or lamb.

      These potatoes look so enticing with their crispy little edges and golden brown crust. They'd go great with a rotisserie chicken or grilled pork chops.
