These Crispy Air Fryer Baby Potatoes are perfectly golden and tender on the inside with a flavorful crispy skin. Coated with garlic powder, dried rosemary, paprika, and a touch of black pepper, they make an easy, delicious side dish ready in just 25 minutes using a quick air frying technique.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes (washed, dried and sliced in half)

Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 3 tsp dried rosemary (or 3 tbsp dried)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: In a mixing bowl, rub the sliced baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil until evenly coated. Add 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 3 teaspoons dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Mix thoroughly so all potato halves are coated with the seasoning blend.
  2. Preheat and Arrange in Air Fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking. Place the seasoned potatoes in the basket in a single layer for even cooking.
  3. Air Fry the Potatoes: Set the air fryer temperature to 400°F (204°C) and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, shake the basket or toss the potatoes to promote even crisping on all sides. Check doneness by piercing a potato with a fork—it should be tender inside and golden brown with crispy skin outside. If needed, continue cooking in 2-minute increments until desired tenderness and crispiness are achieved.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Remove the cooked potatoes from the air fryer. Optionally, toss with fresh herbs for added flavor and serve hot alongside your favorite main dish.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure potatoes are completely dry before coating to promote crispiness.
  • You can substitute dried rosemary with fresh rosemary, but reduce quantity to 1 tablespoon as fresh herbs are more potent.
  • Adjust seasoning quantities to taste; add more paprika or black pepper for extra spice.
  • If your air fryer basket is small, cook potatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • These potatoes make a great side dish for meats, vegetarian mains, or as a snack with dipping sauces.
