Crispy Air Fryer Baby Potatoes
Dig into crispy-yet-tender air fryer baby potatoes! These bite-sized beauties are seasoned with aromatic herbs, like thyme and rosemary, and air-fried until golden brown.
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula
- Air fryer
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F for 3-5 minutes.
- In the meantime, wash and thoroughly dry the potatoes with a clean kitchen towel, then cut them in half so all pieces are roughly the same size.
- Add the potatoes to a large mixing bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss until they are evenly coated.
- Transfer the potatoes to the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. If necessary, cook them in batches.
- Air fry the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until they are crispy and golden brown.
- Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or other herbs before serving. Happy eating!
Notes
Cut to an even size: Ensure the potatoes are roughly the same size for even cooking. If necessary, cut larger ones into quarters.
Optimal temperature and timing: Keep a close eye on the potatoes, as cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and the size of the potato pieces.
Check for doneness: The potatoes should be crispy and golden brown on the outside yet tender on the inside. Test one with a fork to double-check it's softness.
Herb handling: If you're using fresh herbs like parsley, add them after cooking so they remain vibrant and don’t wilt under the high heat of the air fryer.
Letting your air fryer heat up results in much more consistent and even cooking results.
You want your potatoes to be quite dry to promote a crispy, golden-brown texture.
Ensure the basket isn’t overcrowded, or the potatoes will steam instead of crisp. If necessary, you can cook them in batches.
