Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Cut them into halves or quarters if they are larger in size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the cut potatoes to the bowl and toss them well until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket, making sure they are spread out in a single layer for even cooking. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the basket.
Air fry the potatoes for 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure they crisp up on all sides.
Check for doneness at 20 minutes. The potatoes should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. If needed, continue cooking for another 2-5 minutes.
Once done, transfer the crispy potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
