Absolutely! Here’s a simple, crispy, and flavorful air fryer potatoes recipe that works with small cubes, wedges, or baby potatoes.
Crispy Air Fryer Potatoes
Ingredients (serves 2-3):
- 3-4 medium potatoes (russet, Yukon gold, or red), cut into cubes or wedges
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prep the potatoes:
Wash and peel (optional) the potatoes. Cut into even-sized cubes or wedges for uniform cooking. - Season:
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, thyme/rosemary, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. - Preheat the air fryer:
Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for 3–5 minutes. - Cook:
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer (avoid overcrowding).
- Cook at 400°F for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crispiness.
- For extra crisp, cook 2–3 minutes longer, checking frequently.
- Serve:
Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot with ketchup, aioli, or your favorite dipping sauce.
💡 Tips for perfect air fryer potatoes:
- Cutting potatoes evenly ensures they cook uniformly.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if needed.
- Tossing halfway through helps achieve maximum crispiness.
- For a cheesy twist, sprinkle with grated Parmesan in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
