air fryer potatoes
These crispy air fryer potatoes are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried potatoes. Perfect as a side dish or a snack, they are quick to make and packed with flavor.
Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 cutting board
- 1 serving dish
Ingredients
- 2 lbs baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Start by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly. You can leave the skins on for extra texture or peel them if you prefer.
- Cut the potatoes in half or quarters, depending on their size. Make sure the pieces are roughly uniform for even cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Add the cut potatoes to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are well coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Once preheated, place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If necessary, cook in batches for best results.
- Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Once they are golden brown and crispy, remove the potatoes from the air fryer.
- Transfer them to a serving dish, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Try serving these potatoes with a dipping sauce like ranch or aioli for an extra treat.
Notes
You can customize the seasoning to your taste. Add your favorite herbs or spices for a different flavor profile.
