Air fryer baby potatoes get perfectly roasted. These air fryer mini potatoes are a perfect side dish to meals and can be seasoned in a variety of ways.
There are just certain things I love making in the air fryer. And potatoes are one of those things.
Lately, I've been making these air fryer roasted baby potatoes (aka air fryer mini potatoes). And they are such a treat. The outside gets all roasted to perfection while the inside is light and fluffy.
So good. My husband couldn't stop raving about them and saying how perfect they were. Now that's a ringing endorsement in my book.
He said the seasoning was perfect and the texture was perfect. Yay! But.. if you're looking to add some different flavors, I have a few suggestions below too!
Ingredients
- Baby potatoes - very small potatoes, about 1 to 1.5 inches big
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
How to customize
These air fryer baby potatoes are so easy to customize! While I love them as is, you can add various herbs and spices to season them.
I love the idea of adding some onion or garlic powder for additional flavor, and a favorite of mine is smoked paprika.
You could also add some ground harissa seasoning, chili powder, or even some curry powder.
You can also top them with a sauce or with some sautéed garlic.
What to serve with the baby potatoes
I've served the air fried mini potatoes with dipping sauces. I love them with chipotle mayo, honey mustard bbq sauce, or bang bang sauce. The potatoes are also delicious drizzled with some preserved lemon vinaigrette.
These air fryer baby potatoes pair beautifully with air fryer honey maple salmon, air fryer sockeye salmon, or air fryer bbq salmon. They're also delicious with air fryer panko chicken or these air fryer bbq chicken thighs.
Recipe notes
- If your potatoes are larger, they may need a longer cooking time. I try to pierce the largest potato to make sure it's done.
- All air fryers cook differently. Adjust as needed.
