Instructions
 

Prep Baby Potatoes

  • Halve the potatoes and transfer them into a bowl. Rinse the halved baby potatoes very well under running tap water. Remove all dirt & debris, drain them and pat them dry with the help of a kitchen towel.

Air Fry Baby Gold Potatoes

  • Pre-Heat the air fryer at 400 F. Add all seasonings mentioned above in the ingredients section along with the olive oil, salt, lemon juice into the bowl containing the halved baby potatoes. Coat the halved potatoes very well.

  • Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray and transfer the seasoned baby potatoes into the air fryer basket. Spread them into a single layer. It's ok if few potatoes stack on each other.

  • Air Fry for 15 mins at 400 degrees F. After 8 mins open the air fryer basket and give it a good shake. You can toss and turn the potatoes now. Pop the basket inside the air fryer and continue cooking for the rest of the time (7 mins) or until the potatoes are nicely golden and crispy on all sides. Serve with your favorite dip or your favorite protein and a side salad or steamed veggie (Options included above in the post).

Notes

  1. Best Potatoes: You can also use baby white or baby red potatoes instead of baby gold potatoes. The cook time would remain the same.
  2. Cayenne & red pepper flakes: This air fryer roasted baby potatoes recipe has a bit of a kick to it. Skip adding the cayenne & the red pepper flakes if making it for kids.
  3. The cook time: You might need to adjust the cook time a bit depending on the size of your baby potatoes.
  4. Super crispy baby potatoes: For very crispy outer skin add 2-3 mins to the cook time and check in between.
