Air Fryer Little Potatoes


These crispy Air Fryer Little Potatoes are the perfect side dish or snack! Golden and crunchy on the outside, soft and creamy on the inside, they’re super easy to make and packed with flavor. The air fryer gives them that amazing roasted texture in a fraction of the time it takes to cook them in the oven. Whether you’re pairing them with a main dish or munching on them as a delicious snack, you’ll love how easy and tasty they are.



Ingredients:

  • 1.5 pounds Little Potatoes (baby potatoes or new potatoes)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)



Instructions:


  1. Prepare the Potatoes:

    • Wash and dry the little potatoes. You can leave the skin on for extra flavor and texture.

    • If any of the potatoes are particularly large, cut them in half to ensure even cooking. Otherwise, leave them whole.


  2. Season the Potatoes:

    • In a large bowl, combine the little potatoes, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

    • Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated in the seasoning mix.


  3. Preheat and Air Fry:

    • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.

    • Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring there’s space between them for even cooking. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches.

    • Air fry the potatoes at 400°F for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure they get evenly crispy. The potatoes should be golden brown on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork.


  4. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the air fryer and transfer to a serving dish.

    • Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately while they’re hot and crispy.

Tips for Success:

  • Cooking Time: Depending on the size of your little potatoes, cooking times may vary slightly. Keep an eye on them after the 15-minute mark to avoid overcooking.


  • Shake the Basket: Shaking the air fryer basket halfway through cooking ensures that the potatoes cook evenly and get that perfect crispiness.



Variations:

  • Cheesy Potatoes: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes in the last 2 minutes of air frying for a cheesy twist.


  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning mix if you like a little heat.


  • Herb Butter Potatoes: After air frying, toss the hot potatoes with melted butter and chopped fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for an extra burst of flavor.


Enjoy these Air Fryer Little Potatoes as a versatile side dish for dinner or a quick, tasty snack. They’re sure to become a family favorite with their crispy, golden finish and tender interior!
