How to Make Baby Potatoes in Air Fryer
Crispy skinned baby potatoes seasoned with simple spices and air fried until fork tender, a quick kid friendly side ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 250 gm (8 oz baby potatoes)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon mixed herbs
- Oil (for spray)
- Salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Prep the potatoes: Cut the baby potatoes in half, wash well, and pat dry. Let them air dry for 10 minutes.
- Season: Toss the potatoes with paprika, black pepper, ginger powder, garlic powder, mixed herbs, salt, and a light spray of oil.
- Preheat: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
- Arrange: Place the potatoes in a single layer, cut side down, skin side up. Avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry: Cook for 15 minutes, tossing halfway through, until crispy and fork tender.
- Serve: Serve hot with dipping sauce or mayonnaise.
Notes
- Bigger potatoes need more cooking time than baby potatoes.
- Keep the spices light for a kid friendly version.
- Place potatoes cut side down for faster, even crisping.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket, or the potatoes will steam instead of crisp.
- Toss halfway through cooking for even browning on all sides.
