Parisienne potatoes are small, round potatoes that have been scooped into balls using a melon baller or parisienne scoop. The potatoes are then usually cooked in butter or oil until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They are a classic French potato dish and are often served as a side dish or as part of a more elaborate potato dish. Parisienne potatoes can be seasoned with herbs, garlic, or other spices to add flavor, and they can be served with a variety of sauces or dips.

This recipe is amazing! I made it for 35 people - used russet potatoes and a very large pan and cooked them on the bbq. Received rave reviews and there were hardly any left overs!!! This is a keeper!

You can save a lot of time if you boil the potatoes so that they are cooked through but not mushy. I usually use cubed potato and that takes about 12 min of boiling before being drained and the spices added. Then you can roast them until you like the crispiness or crust.

These should work really well in our air fryer ( most things do!). I used to make Parisienne potatoes years ago using a special tool which would cut the small spheres from larger potatoes. Cubes would definitely be much easier!
