Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups mini gold potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Optional garnish Fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, and chives.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Wash potatoes thoroughly, dry them, and cut in half or quarters to ensure each piece is about 1 inch in size. Measure out 3 cups.
  2. Add the cut potatoes to a separate bowl (not in the air fryer basket). Add the remaining ingredients and toss until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 400°F. If your air fryer doesn’t have a preheat function, simply run it empty for 3 minutes at 400°F.
  4. Spread the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer in a single layer and avoid any overlap; cook in batches if necessary.
  5. Cook for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, shake the basket and spread the potatoes back into an even layer. Continue to cook until they are golden and tender, about 8 to 10 minutes longer.
  6. Potatoes are done when they are tender and have a slightly crisp or charred exterior. Air fryers can vary, so if your potatoes aren’t as crispy as you’d like, continue air frying them, checking every 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. Season with salt to taste and add garnish. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Tip 1: Resist the temptation to reduce the oil! It is key here. Less oil means the potatoes won’t be as crispy.
  • Tip 2: I like to add a garnish of fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, and chives.
  • Tip 3: Store the potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Warm in the air fryer at 350°F until heated and re-crisped.
