Air Fryer Baby Potatoes
Bite size potatoes cook into golden bits of heaven.
Tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, these flavorful roasted potatoes will complement any dinner.
All it takes are three simple seasonings and a touch of olive oil to flavor baby potatoes for your next meal.
This recipe makes 6 servings, however, if you have a hungry bunch it could feed just 4 people.
When I happen to have leftover roasted potatoes, I like to add them to a salad, especially a main dish salad, the next day. They add texture and flavor.
Multi-colored small potatoes in the air fryer cook easily and evenly and make a pretty presentation.
Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook these potatoes in two batches. Just be sure to arrange them in a single layer and not piled on top of each other. This will ensure even cooking.
Turn this recipe into loaded potatoes!
After air frying, arrange the potatoes on a dish and top them with sour cream, sliced scallions, shredded cheese and crispy bacon bits!
Another idea is to sprinkle the crispy potatoes with parmesan cheese before serving. Oh yum!
And when you're entertaining, make it fancy and sprinkle chopped parsley on the potatoes before serving.
I have a feeling that even your picky eaters will love eating this side dish.
Everyone loves a potato side dish, especially crispy baby potatoes, and Air Fryer Baby Potatoes will quickly become a staple in your menu rotation.

Swirls of Flavor Recipe Tips
- After cutting the potatoes you can soak them in water for 20 minutes to draw out extra starch. Dry them off with paper towels, follow the recipe and they will be noticeably crispier!
- It’s important to toss the potatoes halfway through air frying to allow for even cooking.
- Be sure not to crowd the potatoes in a pile in the air fryer basket. Arranging in a single layer will guarantee that the baby potatoes cook evenly
- Add seasonings you like, such as dried Italian seasoning, dried Greek seasoning, dried basil or even cajun seasoning, and switch up the flavors or match the main course you’re serving them with.
- Add onion powder
