There's so much to love about Christmas dinners - from pigs in blankets and Yorkshire puddings to turkey and your favourite seasonal veg. For most, the main attraction is the meat centrepiece (or veggie alternative) but oftentimes, it's the roast potatoes that are the real stars of the show.
Crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside - what's not to love? Food blogger Nathan Anthony, better known on social media as Bored Of Lunch, shared his recipe for delicious parmesan potatoes that you can cook in the air fryer.
He created a TikTok video to demonstrate the 'easy' recipe, which has had hundreds of comments and hundreds of thousands of views. One person who gave it a go hailed the potatoes 'absolutely beautiful' while another said the recipe was 'loved by the whole family.'

"You need to try these air fryer crispy parmesan potatoes," says Anthony in the video's introduction before adding: "They are so easy to make and they're just phenomenal".
He begins by halving the raw potatoes and criss-cross cutting them at the base. Meanwhile in the base of an air fryer, he adds 70g of butter, 40g of parmesan, one teaspoon of paprika, one teaspoon of garlic and some salt and pepper.
He then places the potatoes cut-side down into the air fryer and tops them with even more parmesan. Next, he air fries them for 20 minutes at 200C. He turns them, tops them with more parmesan and then puts them back on to air fry for another ten minutes.
Finally, he tops them with rosemary - and they're done.
