Ingredients:
- 1 lb (about 4 medium) baby potatoes or regular potatoes (cut into chunks or wedges)
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano (or fresh if preferred)
- 1 tsp dried thyme (or fresh)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prep the Potatoes:
- If using baby potatoes, cut them into halves or quarters. For regular potatoes, cut them into bite-sized chunks or wedges.
- Rinse the potatoes under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure they crisp up in the air fryer.
- Season the Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, toss the potato pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
- Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the potatoes and toss again until evenly coated.
- Air Fry the Potatoes:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they cook evenly.
- Air fry the potatoes for 18-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a final squeeze of lemon juice for extra freshness.
Tips:
- For extra crispiness: Make sure the potatoes are dry before tossing them in oil and seasoning. You can also spray a little extra oil on them before air frying.
- Add Parmesan: For a cheesy version, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes in the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
- Adjust seasoning: Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic, lemon, and herbs to suit your taste.
Enjoy
