Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound baby potatoes
  • 3 Tablespoons pesto
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, add olive oil, salt, and 2 tablespoons pesto. Stir to combine.
  • Wash and dry potatoes. Dice into 1 inch cubes. Add potatoes to pesto mixture and then stir until coated.
  • Add potatoes to air fryer basket. Cook at 400 degrees F for 14-17 minutes, shaking halfway through cooking.
  • Plate, then top with the additional 1 Tablespoon of pesto.

Notes

  • All air fryers cook differently. Adjust times as needed! Also, red potatoes may take slightly longer to cook than yellow potatoes.
  • The addition of pesto at the end makes the dish. It gives that extra pesto flavor that the potatoes need.
  • This recipe can serve 2-4, depending on what other items you're serving with the potatoes.
