Servings 3 servings
These adorable roasted heart potatoes are a great alternative to French fries for a special Valentine's Day Dinner! The crispy potatoes are seasoned with a mixture of dried spices that make them incredibly flavorful, and they're delicious dipped into your favorite sauce or gravy. The perfect side dish!
Ingredients
- 3-4 large russet potatoes, washed and peeled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1/2 teaspoon if you prefer less garlicky flavor)
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for salting the water
- 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 heart potatoes 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
- This recipe makes enough for about 3 servings. For more potato hearts, simply double the recipe! They do shrink down a bit as they cook.
- I used a 1 1/2 inch heart shaped cookie cutter and got about one heart from each slice. To get more hearts out of each slice, use a smaller mini heart cookie cutter. You may need to reduce the cooking time if you do smaller hearts.
- Don’t let the potato scraps go to waste! I usually just boil them in the same water right after parboiling the potato hearts and mash them to make mashed potatoes.
