Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby potatoes
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Thoroughly wash the baby potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel. Cutting into evenly sized pieces ensures even cooking, so halve or quarter them depending on their size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Add the cut potatoes to the bowl and toss them into the spice and oil mixture until they are evenly coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) following the manufacturer's instructions for about 3 minutes.
Arrange the seasoned potato pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure crispiness, which might require cooking in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for 15 minutes, then pause the fryer and shake the basket to move the potatoes around for even crisping. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Check for doneness by inserting a fork into a potato piece; it should be easy to pierce.
Once done, remove the crispy potatoes from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy air-fried crispy potatoes as a delicious side dish!
