Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby red potatoes petite size
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt + pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and place in a bowl.1.5 pounds baby red potatoes
- Add the olive oil and toss, then add a little salt and pepper and toss again.1 tablespoon olive oil, Salt + pepper
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket. If possible, make a single layer of potatoes and arrange cut side down. Note: a large basket for an oven-style air fryer will usually fit the entire batch. Basket-style air fryers may require multiple batches or a longer cycle with a toss step mid-cycle.
- Set the cycle to air fry at 425°F for 20 minutes. In my (oven-style) air fryer, with the potatoes in a single layer, I do not need to stop the cycle to toss or flip. I simply let the potatoes cook, undisturbed, for the 20-minute cycle. See notes for basket-style air fryers.
- When the cooking cycle is done, the potatoes will be golden brown with a crispy exterior and a pillowy soft interior.
Notes
If you'd like more flavor variations, add chopped herbs when tossing the cut potatoes with oil. Rosemary, parsley, or Italian seasoning make nice additions.
For basket-style air fryers, I recommend tossing at about the 13-minute mark. 20 minutes total cooking time might be enough, so do a taste test once the cycle is done. If your potatoes seem like they might need more time, air fry another 5 minutes.
