Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1 lb Fingerling Potatoes Halved lengthwise
1.5 tbsp Olive Oil Or avocado oil
1 tsp Garlic Powder
0.5 tsp Paprika Optional for a smoky touch
0.5 tsp Salt Or to taste
0.25 tsp Black Pepper Freshly ground preferred
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley Chopped for garnish (optional)

Equipment

1 Air Fryer Preferably with 4-5 qt size
1 Mixing Bowl For tossing potatoes in oil
1 Silicone Spatula For mixing without sticking

Method

Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, toss halved fingerling potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Place seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if needed.
Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 18–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even browning.
Once golden and crispy, remove and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

You can substitute fingerling potatoes with baby potatoes or Yukon golds cut into wedges.
Leftovers store well in an airtight container and reheat beautifully in the air fryer.
Add fresh rosemary or thyme for an herby finish!
