RECIPE VARIATIONS AND SUBSTITUTIONS:
Olive oil – I used olive oil but you can use whatever cooking oil you prefer.
Baby Potatoes – I used baby red potatoes, but this recipe works for any type of baby potatoes
Garlic Powder – You can also use 1 teaspoon of garlic paste instead. I do not recommend using chopped garlic because it tends to burn in the air fryer.
Customized your seasonings – There are many ways to you can enjoy these baby potatoes. I like to switch up the seasonings depending on what I am in the mood for and what I think my family would enjoy. You could keep things simple by using olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rosemary seasoning, olive oil, and salt tastes amazing as well. Other seasonings to try are ranch seasoning, parsley, and Cajun seasoning to make them spicy.
