Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes - Start by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly. If you're using Yukon Gold potatoes, peel them if preferred, and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Halve or quarter the baby potatoes for even cooking.
- Step 2: Season the Potatoes - In a mixing bowl, combine the halved or quartered potatoes with the extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated in the oil and seasonings.
- Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer - Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating helps to achieve that desirable crispy texture.
- Step 4: Arrange the Potatoes - Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking. If necessary, work in batches to ensure they cook properly.
- Step 5: Air Fry the Potatoes - Air fry the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking. The exact time may vary based on your air fryer model and the size of your potato pieces. You want them to be golden brown and crispy.
- Step 6: Garnish and Serve - Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy your Air Fryer Potatoes as a side dish or a snack!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the potatoes in water for 30 minutes before seasoning. Pat them dry completely before tossing with oil.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste. If you love heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- Always preheat your air fryer; this helps in achieving a better texture.
- If you have leftovers, they can be reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
