Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs small potatoes Ideal for bite-sized portions
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Helps achieve crispiness
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder For savory flavor
  • 1 teaspoon paprika Adds an extra kick
  • to taste Salt and pepper Season according to preference
  • optional Fresh herbs For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and dry the small potatoes thoroughly, then cut them in half.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the potato halves cut side down in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded for optimum crisping.
  2. Cook for 20-25 minutes, checking for that golden brown color and crispy texture. The potatoes should feel tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. Once cooked, remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly.
  4. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve them warm.

Notes

Tips for best results: Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; flip the potato bites halfway through cooking; adjust cooking time for smaller pieces; increase temperature for extra crispiness in the last few minutes.
