Crispy Air Fryer Fingerling Potatoes
These crispy air fryer fingerling potatoes are golden, cheesy, and perfectly tender inside. Ready in just 20 minutes, they make the ultimate easy side dish for weeknight dinners, holiday meals, or anytime you’re craving something crunchy and flavorful. Tossed with olive oil, garlic, and parmesan, they’re seriously addictive!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds fingerling potatoes, cut in half lengthwise
- 1 - 2 tablespoon olive oil, depending on how crispy you want the potatoes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan
- Garnish: 2 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F and lightly grease the basket with non-stick olive oil spray.
- Then toss the halved fingerling potatoes in a mixing bowl with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese.
- Carefully line the bottom of your air fryer with parchment paper so the cheese doesn’t fall off into the basket or get stuck on the grate.
- Add seasoned potatoes to the preheated air fryer and air fry at 400°F for a total of 14 – 18 minutes. Shake the basket at the 10-minute mark to ensure they are cooking evenly. Every air fryer is different, so check at the 14-minute mark, then decide if you want them to be crispier.
- Enjoy immediately, and serve with a sprinkle of parsley. Enjoy!
Notes
Cut potatoes evenly: Halve the fingerling potatoes lengthwise so they cook evenly and get extra crispy.
Line your air fryer: Use parchment paper to prevent the parmesan from falling off or sticking to the basket. It also makes cleanup easier!
Don’t skip the basket shake: Shake around the 10-minute mark to ensure even crisping.
Serve immediately: These are best fresh out of the air fryer while they’re hot and crisp.
