Herby Garlic Air Fryer Potatoes

An easy recipe for getting perfectly crispy potatoes while using lots of fresh herbs and garlic! This is a healthier take on roasted baby potatoes. Roasted potatoes are wonderful and not unhealthy – don’t get me wrong. The air fryer method just calls for less oil but certainly doesn’t lack in flavor!

Is there a more versatile vegetable than the potato? From the potato we get French fries, mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, hash browns and the list goes on. They can be eaten boiled, fried, roasted, steamed, and again, the list goes on. Currently, my favorite way to cook potatoes, is in the air fryer. These Herby Garlic Air Fryer Potatoes get perfectly crispy and they’re so easy to make!

This is a perfect summertime side dish thanks to the fresh herbs and minimal prep. In fact, there’s hardly any prep involved in this dish. Just a quick wash of the potatoes, chop of the herbs and garlic and your prep work is done. Bonus: there’s no heating of the stove involved!

I just love my air fryer, and this recipe is one of the best ones you can make with it. The potato skin gets perfectly crispy and little oil is used. Only a light coating of olive oil is needed and the air fryer does its job perfectly in creating a nice crispy spud!
