About This Recipe
This recipe is one you’re going to want to keep in your back pocket. In fact, I keep a bag of potatoes in my fridge at all times just so I can make this whenever I need an easy side dish. These crispy air fryer potatoes pair well with basically any meal, and they come together with just a few pantry staples.
These potatoes are exactly what air fryers excel at- cooking things quickly while giving them a crispy exterior. Simply toss potatoes with some oil and seasonings, then pop them in the air fryer for 18-20 minutes. Easy peasy.
Key Ingredients
Potatoes: I’m using yellow baby potatoes because they’re easy to prep and are a great all-purpose potato. Red potatoes would also work well because they’re low in starch content and will hold up well in the air-fryer, and get nice and crispy. I left the skins on because they’re edible and have most of the fiber, but you can peel them if you prefer
Oil: I use olive oil, but any neutral-flavored oil, like avocado, canola, or vegetable oil, will work.
Seasonings: I use a combination of Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Feel free to use whatever seasoning mix you like.
Instructions
STEP 1: Halve the baby potatoes. If you are using regular potatoes, make sure to cut each potato into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
STEP 2: In a large bowl, toss the baby potatoes with the olive oil and spices.
STEP 3: Spread the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ideally with a bit of space between each piece. If your air fryer is small, you may have to do this in two batches.
STEP 4: Air-fry for 18-22 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crispy on the outside. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley (optional).
