Ingredients to make Air Fryer Baby Potatoes

- Olive Oil – helps the seasonings to stick onto the potatoes as well as crisps them up well.

- Onion Powder – gives a great umami flavour.
- Garlic Powder – pairs perfectly with onion powder.
- Salt and Pepper – finish off these baby potatoes

Substitutions
- Baby Potatoes – can be replaced with red potatoes, fingerling potatoes, or other little potatoes. If you use bigger potatoes like russet potatoes, gold potatoes, sweet potatoes or yellow potatoes, cut them into smaller pieces.
- Olive Oil – Any oil with a high smoke point will work fine to air fry small potatoes. Avocado oil is a great choice.
- Seasonings – This is where you can really have fun with this recipe! I love the combination listed, but there are so many other great seasonings you could put on this baby potato recipe! Some things to try are parmesan cheese, fresh rosemary, Italian seasoning, taco seasoning, cajun seasoning fresh garlic, or another favourite seasoning blend.
Variations
- Spicy – For a spicier potato, add some chilli powder or cumin to the mix of seasonings.
- Deluxe – Top with fresh herbs (like fresh parsley) and serve these crispy potatoes up with some vegan sour cream or your favourite dipping sauce such as my Vegan Mayo or Garlic Hummus.
- Kid friendly – Kids love to dip things, so serve these air fryer mini potatoes with some catsup, BBQ sauce, or ranch to ensure they’ll enjoy them. If you have really picky eaters, you could cut them into long, thin shapes and serve them up as french fries.
How to make Air Fryer Baby Potatoes
Step 1: Slice the baby potatoes in half at an angle.
Step 2: Add to a large bowl with the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper and give a good shake until all are well seasoned.
Step 3: Spread across your air fryer basket making sure they have a bit of space and air fry for 15 minutes at 205°C (give them a little shake half way through).
Hint: Air fryer cook time can vary based on the brand and size of the potatoes. Larger potatoes will require more time to cook while small potatoes may cook faster.
Leftovers
Store leftover air fryer new potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat leftover potatoes in the microwave or air fryer.
Recipe FAQs
