Choosing the Best Potatoes

• Yukon Gold potatoes are great because they are creamy inside and crisp well.
  Russet potatoes are also a good choice for extra crispiness.
  Baby potatoes work well if you want a softer center.
• Make sure to cut potatoes into equal pieces so they cook evenly.

Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Place the potatoes in a bowl.

Add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and herbs.

• Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
• Do not overcrowd the basket. Cook in batches if needed.
• Air fry for 15–20 minutes.
