Roasted baby potatoes with spices and herbs is a great side dish for any occasion. My hubby loves making it as it is very easy to make in the air fryer. It is his signature item, be it a barbeque, get together, or a cool rainy day, it is a great starter dish and friends love it.
Ingredients to make roasted baby potatoes
You will need only three ingredients - baby potatoes, olive oil and seasoning mix. I love using the Concord Roasted Potato Original Seasoning Mix to make the roasted herb potatoes. I have used the red skin baby potatoes but you can use any.
Preparing the potatoes and seasoning mix
The process is fairly simple. Just wash the baby potatoes thoroughly (as we are not going to peel the skin), cut it into halves and let it stand in a colander to allow the excess water to drip off.
Mix the seasoning in some olive oil and mix the potato halves. For best results leave the mixture for 15-20 minutes for marination before roasting/baking in Air Fryer.
How to make roasted baby potatoes in the air fryer
Preheat the air fryer to 390 °F. Air fry the baby potatoes for 10-15 minutes. Check after 10 minutes to monitor and give it a little shake.
Cook for additional few minutes as needed and check that the potatoes are well done by inserting a fork. It took a total of 12 minutes for the potatoes to be well roasted.
Transfer to a serving bowl immediately to avoid overcooking of the baby potatoes.

Hello I would like to take roast potatoes that I have done in my air fryer to my son’s home 30 minutes away. Will they stay crisp and can they be put into a Bain Marie or oven when I get there to warm them?

Hi Rosalie,
Yes, they should stay crisp and you can definitely warm them in the oven.
Hope this helps.

I really love to cook in air fryer as I don't have to worry about oil intake. These roasted potatoes look great.
