How To Make Air Fryer New Potatoes
This delicious air fried potato side dish is super easy to make, no faff, just easy steps and big flavours!
Step One - season the potatoes
- Slice the new potatoes into quarters, and toss into a bowl.
- Drizzle over the oil and scatter over the dried garlic, onion, oregano and parsley. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Toss everything together so that the potatoes are well coated with oil and Italian herbs.
Step Two - air fry the new potatoes
- Tip the potatoes into the air fryer basket. And cook on the roast setting for 160C for 15 minutes - be sure tho shake the basket every 6-7 minutes, this just makes sure the potatoes cook evenly.
Cooks Note! Cooking the potatoes at a lower temperature for the first 15 minutes, give the potatoes chance to cook through to the middle before the outsides crisp up too much.
- After the first 15 minutes, put the heat up to 200C and continue to cook on the roast setting for a further 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through properly, the centres are soft when you prod them with a knife. And the outsides are crispy, golden and looking super tasty.
Step Three - add the fresh herbs and lemon zest
- To finish the herby new potatoes side dish, tip the freshly cooked potatoes into a serving bowl and scatter with lemon zest and chopped flat leaf parsley.
