Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 measuring spoons
- 1 cutting board
- 1 spatula
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Begin by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Cut the baby potatoes in half or quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoning blend.
- Add the cut potatoes to the mixing bowl and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them for optimal crispiness.
- Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Once cooked, the potatoes should be golden brown and crispy. Remove them carefully from the air fryer using a spatula.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
Adjust the seasoning to your preference. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices!
If you have a larger amount of potatoes, consider cooking them in batches to maintain crispiness.
Serve these roasted potatoes alongside grilled meats, salads, or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor. Enjoy!
