Ingredients note
Baby potatoes: I got these small potatoes from the local market. They are so creamy and delicious. For this recipe, larger potatoes are not a good choice.Olive oil: You would need very little oil for this recipe. Any kind of oil is good, but I prefer olive oil or avocado oil.Salt: I used Himalayan pink salt, but you can use any type of salt.Seasonings: I used dried rosemary leaves, cayenne pepper, amchur powder, and chaat masala. Other choices are fresh rosemary or Italian seasoning.
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the baby potatoes in half and place them in a large bowl. Add all the seasonings together with oil and salt. Mix well to get an even coating. Place the potato halves into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 15 minutes or until they are fork tender or golden brown and crispy. Serve the warm air fryer mini potatoes immediately with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Expert tips
