FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What type of baby potatoes should I use?

You can use pretty much any type of baby or new potatoes that you’d like. They have Yukon gold, russet and reds. We used red for this particular recipe.

Do I have to top these with anything?

No. They are delicious as-is straight out of the air fryer. Obviously they are great with all the toppings but if you want to just have a side potato you can leave them plain.

What toppings can I use?

For these we used shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, bacon crumbles and chives.

How do I get the toppings to stay on?

We like to hollow out a portion of the center of the potato so we can kind of stuff the toppings which help everything just pile on. But honestly you could just put a few potatoes on your plate then add all the toppings on all of them to make it easier.

How do I store leftovers?

If you plan on storing these I suggest to store them without the toppings. They will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER BABY BAKED POTATOES:

Preheat the air fryer to 400F degrees. Place the washed and scrubbed baby potatoes in a medium-sized bowl. Pour the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and pepper over the potatoes and gently mix to coat.

When the air fryer has reached 400F degrees, spray the inside with cooking oil. I think olive oil nonstick spray is best. It doesn’t gunk up your air fryer basket like other nonstick sprays. Add the baby potatoes to the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
