# Components:

→ Potatoes

01 - 4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed

→ Seasoning

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

03 - Combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
04 - Brush or rub the prepared seasoning mixture onto each spiral potato, ensuring coverage between all layers.
05 - Preheat air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes.
06 - Place the skewered potatoes in the air fryer basket, keeping them separated so they do not touch.
07 - Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for 20 to 25 minutes, turning them halfway through, until golden and crispy.
08 - Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, and chili flakes before serving.
