Description
Air Fryer Baby Potatoes are a crispy, flavorful side dish with a golden exterior and tender interior, cooked quickly and evenly in an air fryer with minimal oil.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved or left whole if small
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: fresh parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Check for doneness by piercing with a fork; potatoes should be tender inside and crispy outside.
- Remove from the air fryer and garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Add rosemary or thyme for an herby twist.
- Toss with grated Parmesan cheese immediately after cooking.
- Use smoked paprika or chili powder for a spicy kick.
- Mix in minced garlic before air frying for extra flavor.
- Drizzle with lemon juice or garlic aioli before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness or warm in the oven.
