These easy roasted heart potatoes are the perfect side dish to serve at your Valentine's Day dinner! Thin slices of potato are trimmed into perfect little hearts using cookie cutters, then seasoned and air-fried or baked for a crispy, savory treat. They're so simple the kids can make them too!
Ingredients
- 3-4 large russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for salting the water (optional)
- Dash of black pepper
Instructions
Air Fryer Method
- Wash potatoes, pat dry and slice them into 1/4 inch slices.
- Use a metal cookie cutter to cut out as many hearts as you can from each slice. Reserve the scraps to make mashed potatoes.
- Place potatoes in a bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt and pepper.
- Preheat Air Fryer to 400 degrees F.
- Place potato hearts in the air fryer basket, making sure there is space between them.
- Air fry for 13-15 minutes, shaking the basket a few times during cooking, until crispy and golden brown.
Oven Method
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray or brush with oil.
- Wash potatoes, pat dry and slice them into 1/4 inch slices.
- Using a metal cookie cutter, cut out as many hearts as you can from each slice. Reserve the scraps to make mashed potatoes.
- Bring a pot of salted water to boil, add in the potatoes.
- Reduce heat and simmer potatoes for about 3 minutes. Drain potatoes thoroughly and let cool.
- Place potato hearts in a bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt and pepper.
- Roast heart shaped potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown, flipping the potatoes and rotating the pan half way through.
Notes
- You'll get about 3 servings out of this recipe, depending on the size of your potatoes. Feel free to double the recipe if you need more!
- I used a 1 1/2 inch heart cookie cutter, and was able to get 1 heart per potato slice. You can easily use a smaller cookie cutter for bite-sized potato hearts.
- Save the potato scraps to make mashed potatoes! Boil them in the water you used to parboil them (oven method) and then mash them for a quick side for another meal later in the week.
