Description

Halved fingerling potatoes with crispy golden cut sides and real roasted garlic flavor. Garlic powder goes in at the start and fresh minced garlic in the last four minutes — so it toasts sweet instead of burning bitter.

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound fingerling potatoes, sliced in half lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Cut the fingerling potatoes in half lengthwise. Add them to a large bowl with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, dried rosemary, and dried thyme. Mix well, coating the potatoes.
  • Pour them into the air fryer basket in a single layer, cut side down. Set the temperature to 390 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 12-15 minutes. Shake the basket at the halfway point.
  • With 4 minutes of cook time remaining, add the minced fresh garlic, toss quickly, and return the basket to finish. The garlic should be golden, not brown.
  • Check that the potatoes are fork-tender and the cut sides are golden. Toss with fresh parsley, plate, serve, and enjoy.

Equipment

  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional

Notes

For a sweeter, mellower version, add 6–8 whole unpeeled garlic cloves to the basket at the start and squeeze them over the potatoes to serve. For garlic butter potatoes, skip step 3 and toss the hot potatoes with 2 tablespoons melted butter mixed with the raw minced garlic.
