Equipment

  • 1 air fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 pound baby potatoes *like Yukon or gold
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil *olive oil can work, too
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Start by chopping the potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. 
  • Toss them in avocado oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt. 
  • Spread them into an even layer on an air fryer basket. Cook for 17-20 minutes at 400 degrees. *Toss halfway through.

Notes

Storage:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Reheat in the air fryer for best results. I do not recommend freezing.
Reheat leftover air fryer potatoes in the microwave or in the air fryer at 350.
Tips and Modifications:
If your air fryer requires preheating, make sure to preheat at 400 while prepping the potatoes.
For a spicy kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder to the seasoning.
Do not peel the potatoes. The skin will crisp up perfectly.
Air fryer potatoes are best enjoyed right out of the oven, yum! *Let them cool for a few minutes, however.
