Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
If you find yourself without baby potatoes, feel free to use regular potatoes chopped into bite-sized pieces. And if paprika isn’t your thing, a dash of chili powder could add a spicy twist, reminiscent of the bold flavors I savored in my childhood meals.
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F, ensuring it’s ready to transform your potatoes into crispy perfection.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Ensure every piece is well-coated, much like how my abuela taught me to ensure every ingredient is seasoned perfectly.
- Place the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow each piece to crisp up nicely.
- Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Once done, transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
This recipe is as straightforward as it gets, but don’t let its simplicity fool you. Each step is a nod to the art of creating flavors that resonate with the soul, a lesson I cherish from my family’s vibrant culinary traditions.
