Air Fryer Baby Potatoes are one of those reliable recipes you’ll come back to again and again. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep, you get perfectly seasoned potatoes with a golden crisp exterior and tender center — no oven required.

Serve them as a simple weeknight side, party appetizer, or snack alongside the creamy garlic dip for extra flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Potatoes

  • 1 pound baby potatoes

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Lawry’s or other favorite seasoning blend

Creamy Garlic Dip

  • 1/3 cup sour cream

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes
    Wash potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Cut each potato in half.

  2. Season
    Place potatoes in a large bowl. Add olive oil and seasoning blend, tossing until evenly coated.

  3. Air fry
    Arrange potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if needed).
    Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 22–25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until potatoes are tender inside and golden and crispy outside.

  4. Make the dip
    While the potatoes cook, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, and chives in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.

  5. Serve
    Serve potatoes warm with the creamy garlic dip on the side.

Notes

  • Storage
    Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheating
    Reheat in the air fryer at 400°F for a few minutes to restore crispiness and warm through.
  • Cook in an Even Layer
    Avoid overcrowding the basket. Cooking in batches allows proper airflow and ensures maximum crispiness.
  • Shake Halfway Through
    Shake the basket or flip potatoes with tongs midway through cooking to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
  • Check for Doneness
    Pierce with a fork to ensure tenderness. If needed, continue cooking in 2-minute increments until perfectly cooked.
