Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams Baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Cut them into even halves to ensure they cook evenly.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the halved potatoes to the bowl and toss until all the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and spice mixture.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Air fry the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden and crispy. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
While the potatoes are frying, finely chop the fresh parsley.
Once the potatoes are crispy and cooked through, transfer them to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley and drizzle the lemon juice over the hot potatoes.
Serve immediately and enjoy as a side dish to your favorite Mediterranean meal.
