Ingredients
- 1 pound fingerling potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash the fingerling potatoes thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them completely dry using clean kitchen towels or paper towels.
- If potatoes are larger, slice them lengthwise into roughly equal-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. For smaller fingerling potatoes, you can leave them whole.
- Place the dried potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes, ensuring each potato is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper over the oiled potatoes. Gently toss the potatoes to distribute the seasonings uniformly.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This ensures a crispy exterior and tender interior.
- Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow proper air circulation.
- Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing with a fork. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside.
- Once cooked, transfer potatoes to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh rosemary and a light sprinkle of sea salt.
- Serve hot as a side dish or appetizer, enjoying the crispy exterior and aromatic rosemary flavor.
Tips
- Always thoroughly dry your potatoes before cooking to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket - give your potatoes breathing room for even cooking.
- Shake the basket midway through cooking to ensure uniform golden-brown color.
- Use fresh rosemary if possible; it provides a more vibrant and intense flavor compared to dried herbs.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on your specific air fryer model and potato size.
- For extra flavor, experiment with adding garlic powder or parmesan cheese to the seasoning mix.
- Serve immediately after cooking to enjoy the potatoes at their crispiest peak.
