  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon homemade ranch seasoning

Instructions

  • Rinse, dry and cut the potatoes in half. Measure the oil and seasoning blend. Preheat the air fryer.
  • Combine the potatoes, oil and seasoning blend in a large bowl.
  • Arrange the potato halves in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray. Once the air fryer reaches 400 degrees, place the potatoes in the air fryer and set the timer to cook for 20 minutes.
  • Check the potatoes after 12 minutes and flip the potatoes over.
  • Cook for 8 to 10 minutes longer until they become golden brown.

Notes

Air Fryer Potatoes in the Oven
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees f.
  • Arrange the oil coated and seasoned baby potatoes on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Bake the potatoes in the oven for 15 minutes, remove them from the oven and flip them over.
  • Place them back into the oven and cook for 10 to 15 minutes longer until they become golden on the outside.
How to Store Leftovers
Store leftover baby potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days.
Reheat leftover air fryer baby potatoes in the oven or on top of the stove.
Leftover Suggestions. Brown leftover potatoes on top of the stove with slices of onion and peppers. Cook leftover baby potatoes in a skillet with leftover meat or sausage and onions to make a hash.
Variations
Change up the spice blend and use jerk seasoning blend, Italian seasoning, cajun seasoning or taco seasoning.
Cheesy air fryer baby potatoes. Sprinkle the cooked potatoes just as they come out of the oven with ¼ cup of your favorite grated cheese such as cheddar, parmesan, swiss, or gruyere.
Loaded air fryer potatoes. Top the cooked potatoes with shredded cheddar cheese, bacon crumbles and chopped green onions. Serve with a side of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
Herb air fryer baby potatoes. Add one clove chopped fresh garlic to the oil, before air frying the potatoes and sprinkle them with chopped fresh herbs just before serving.
Butter & chive potatoes. Instead of olive oil, air fry the potatoes in 1 tablespoon of melted unsalted butter, 1 clove chopped garlic and sprinkle them after they are cooked with a handful of chopped chives and a dash of sea salt.
