Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1.5 pounds Baby Potatoes (can substitute with red or yellow potatoes)
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (or avocado oil if allergic)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (fresh minced garlic can be used as an option)
- 1 teaspoon Dried Herbs (Rosemary & Thyme, can mix with Italian seasoning for variation)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove all dirt. Cut larger potatoes into halves or quarters to ensure they cook evenly.
- Season Potatoes: In a mixing bowl, combine the cut potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are fully coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 to 5 minutes to ensure it is hot and ready for roasting.
- Arrange Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd to allow even crisping.
- Cook Potatoes: Air fry the potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to promote even browning on all sides.
- Serve: Once the potatoes are crispy and golden brown, transfer them to a serving platter. Optionally garnish with fresh herbs for added aroma and presentation.
Notes
- Cut larger potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Using fresh garlic instead of garlic powder will give a stronger garlic flavor but can brown faster.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow hot air circulation for crispiness.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on your air fryer model and potato size.
- For variation, try mixing dried herbs with Italian seasoning or add paprika for a smoky touch.
