Air fryer potatoes are probably the fastest roast potatoes you can make. The perfect side dish to bring to any potluck or BBQ.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crispy, crunchy, garlic-onion air fryer potatoes are my ultimate snack food. Forget chips, my new thing is making a big batch of these crispy baby potatoes and eating the heck out of it.<\/p>\n

The other day I made a pound of potatoes and I have to confess: I ate the entire thing. I was having a rough day and my usual go-to bag of ranch chips wasn\u2019t in the house. In the fridge was a bag of baby potatoes, so I popped them in the air fryer, halved and tossed with olive oil and a huge amount of garlic and onion powder.<\/p>\n

Twenty minutes later the potatoes came out: impossibly golden, hot, and crispy. So much better than a bag of chips. Even better, it wasn\u2019t that kind of mindless shovel eating that happens when I eat chips. No, it was thoughtful, enjoyable, hmm, this nugget is just a little creamier that the last one, will the next one be crunchier, kind of eating. It was roast potato contemplation at its best.<\/p>\n

Why you should make air fryer potatoes<\/h2>\n

If you love potatoes, air fryer potatoes are for you! You don\u2019t have to turn on the oven and the result is 100% the same, maybe even better. The air that circulates around in an air fryer makes the outsides crispy all over and the insides perfectly soft. Plus they\u2019re healthier than deep fried wedges or roasties because you hardly use any oil. Air fryer potatoes also cook up faster because air fryers are smaller than ovens so there isn\u2019t as much space to heat up.<\/p>\n

    The best potatoes to use<\/h2>\n

    I like using baby\/new potatoes – they\u2019re small and creamy and when you cut them in half they have both an exposed half and a half with a bit of potato skin. You can also use regular potatoes, just cut into small pieces.<\/p>\n
