Air fryer red potatoes are a quick and easy way to enjoy crispy, flavorful potatoes with minimal oil. They turn out wonderfully crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Here’s a simple recipe for making them:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450 g) red potatoes (washed and cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary (optional, can substitute with other herbs like thyme or oregano)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash the red potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. You don’t need to peel them, as the skin adds a nice texture.
- Season the Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil until evenly coated.
- Add the garlic powder, paprika, dried rosemary (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss again to ensure the potatoes are well seasoned.
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes, if required by your air fryer model.
- Air Fry the Potatoes:
- Place the seasoned potato cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they cook evenly. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook:
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket or stirring the potatoes halfway through the cooking time. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the size of your potato cubes and the air fryer model. The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the air fryer and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
Enjoy your crispy air fryer red potatoes as a delicious side dish or a tasty snack!
