Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pounds baby red potatoes, scrubbed clean or small to medium size red potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil divided use
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary or fresh chopped thyme leaves
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Pre-heat the air fryer to 400°F and set to 12 minutes. Give the rack a small spray of non-stick such as avocado oil.
- Halve the baby red potatoes. For medium red potatoes, quarter them. In a medium bowl, toss potatoes with the olive oil, herbs, salt, pepper, and garlic until well coated. Add the potatoes cut side down and air fry set. At the 6 minute mark, shake the basket well or stir potatoes with a wooden spoon. Complete the air fryer cycle.
- At the end of the cycle, remove one potato and test. They should be lightly crisped and browned, and tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife. if you want them crisper and more browned, add 2-3 minutes to the air fryer cycle. When done, serve hot or warm.For extra flavor, toss the hot potatoes in the same bowl you started with that had the oil and herbs in it, and add the extra 1 teaspoon of olive oil for more flavor. For more color, add some fresh chopped parsley. A little finely grated parmesan cheese is good too if you enjoy it.
Notes
Oven Roasted Red Potatoes:
Prep potatoes the same as for the air fryer instructions. Place potatoes on a metal rimmed baking sheet cut side down and roast until the skin is crisp and golden and the inside is tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp paring knife or skewer, about 25-35 minutes. Check them towards the end. Timing will depend on your ovens and whether you use convection or the standard setting. When potatoes are done, you may need a metal spatula to remove them from the baking sheet to serve.To Make Ahead and Re-Heat
Air fryer red potatoes can be made ahead and heated on a metal baking sheet at 350 degrees until hot, or back into the air fryer on the bake setting at 350°F until heat through.Nutrition
