Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound fingerling potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme)
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash the fingerling potatoes under running water and scrub them gently to remove any dirt.
- Pat the potatoes dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
- Cut the fingerlings in half lengthwise. If some are bigger, consider quartering them for even cooking.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. If using fresh herbs, chop them finely and add to the mixture.
- Add the halved fingerling potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Cooking
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the coated fingerling potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding.
- Cook for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Check for doneness; the potatoes should be crispy and golden brown. If they need more time, continue to cook in 2-3 minute increments.
- Once ready, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
