Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Wash the baby potatoes to get rid of the soil and dirt.

  2. Preheat your air fryer to 400 F and add the potatoes to the basket in a single layer. Air fry for 10 minutes. Insert a fork or toothpick in some of them to see if they are cooked through. Baby potatoes are tender and soften in 10 minutes, but if you feel they are still hard, put them back in the air fryer for a couple minutes extra.

Chef's Notes


I used baby potatoes for this recipe, but if you have slightly bigger ones, cut them in half to keep them bite-sized. This will also help keep the cooking times same.
Do serve them immediately or else they will lose some of their crunch. If you want to make them ahead of time, pop them back into the air fryer when you are ready to serve. Two to three minutes at 400 F, and they will be good as new.
For variations, see the body of the post.
