Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
Seasoning and Marinade
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Finishing Touches (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (to toss after cooking)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, parsley, or thyme, to garnish
- Lemon wedges, to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) to ensure an even cooking temperature for crisp and golden potatoes.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to evenly coat each potato piece with the marinade.
- Cook in Air Fryer: Place the coated potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer to allow proper air circulation. Cook for 8 minutes, then shake the basket to turn the potatoes for even crisping. Continue cooking for an additional 8 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.
- Finish and Garnish: Optionally, drizzle the cooked potatoes with an extra 2 tablespoons of olive oil for added richness. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs such as oregano, parsley, or thyme, and serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over the top for a fresh and tangy finish.
Notes
- Ensure the potatoes are cut evenly for consistent cooking.
- Shaking the basket halfway through helps achieve an even crispness on all sides.
- Use fresh herbs for garnish to enhance flavor and presentation.
- Lemon wedges provide a bright, fresh contrast and can be adjusted according to taste.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, these can be roasted in an oven at 425°F for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through.
