👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1 – Prep the Potatoes
Wash and halve your baby potatoes. Pat them dry with a paper towel — this step is key for crispiness!
Step 2 – Season
In a bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Step 3 – Air Fry
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Place the potatoes in a single layer in the basket (avoid overcrowding).
Air fry for 15–18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Step 4 – Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and a pinch of salt before serving.
Enjoy them hot and crispy — they’re perfect with dips, grilled meats, or breakfast eggs!
