  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Ketchup, ranch dressing, or garlic sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Wash and thoroughly dry the baby potatoes using a kitchen towel or paper towels.
  3. If the potatoes are large, cut them in half for even cooking.
  4. Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
  5. Add the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  6. Toss the potatoes until evenly coated with oil and seasoning.
  7. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
  8. Air fry for 18 to 22 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
  9. Cook until the potatoes are golden brown, crispy outside, and fork-tender inside.
  10. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley.
  11. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Drying the potatoes well helps them crisp better in the air fryer.
  • Avoid overcrowding the basket for even cooking and crispiness.
  • Use smoked paprika for a deeper smoky flavor.
  • Add parmesan cheese during the last few minutes for a cheesy version.
  • Cajun seasoning or chili flakes can be added for extra spice.
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme adds delicious herb flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F for 4 to 6 minutes to restore crispiness.
