Ingredients
Baby Potatoes
- 24 oz baby gold potatoes, halved
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Others
- Olive oil spray, as needed
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Cut the baby gold potatoes in half to ensure even cooking and better crispiness on the cut sides. Place them in a bowl.
- Season and coat: Spray the halved potatoes lightly with olive oil spray. Sprinkle the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and pepper over the potatoes. Mix thoroughly to evenly coat all pieces with the seasoning and oil.
- Arrange in basket: Place the seasoned potatoes in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to allow maximum air circulation for crispy results.
- First air fry cycle: Air fry the potatoes at 400°F (204°C) for 10 minutes to begin cooking and crisping the outsides.
- Shake and recoat: Remove the basket and shake it to flip and reposition the potatoes. Spray them again lightly with olive oil spray to enhance crispness.
- Second air fry cycle: Continue air frying for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. Cook until the potatoes are crispy on all sides and tender inside.
Notes
- Halving the potatoes ensures they cook evenly and get crispy on the cut sides.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste, adding paprika or chili flakes for extra flavor.
- Use a kitchen towel to pat the potatoes dry before oiling for even better crispiness.
- If your air fryer is small, cook the potatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Check tenderness by piercing a potato piece with a fork before serving.
