These Air-Fried potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and are so good! They cook up in the air fryer in just minutes. They’re easy to make and the results are fantastic, like round french fries! Be sure to try my Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes for another easy and tasty recipe.
I’ve been seeing a lot of different brands of baby potatoes but I’m really liking The Little Potato Company’s potatoes. They have a nice variety of colors and sizes to pick from and they are pre-washed.

How to make air-fried baby potatoes:
- If your potatoes aren’t pre-washed be sure to wash and dry them. It’s important to dry them so they don’t get steamed.
- Place the potatoes in the basket of your air fryer. I recently updated my air fryer from an older 3-quart model to the GoWise 5.8 quart and I am loving the bigger size! When you have more room for your food in the basket the food cooks better.
- Spritz the potatoes with avocado oil. If you don’t have a spritzer yet, this set of spritzers is my favorite. I’ve had other brands before but these ones consistently work the best! And they come in a set of two so I can have one for avocado oil and one for olive oil.
- Cook potatoes in the air fryer for ten minutes at 400° and give them a stir, a few more spritzes of avocado oil, and a couple more sprinkles of salt. Cook for five more minutes and check with a fork for tenderness. If needed they can be cooked for 2-3 more minutes.
These tasty little potatoes are a perfect side dish for your meal and any leftovers can easily be reheated in the air fryer in just a few minutes.
