Why I Love Baby Potatoes

You can’t beat the flavor of baby potatoes and I love that you don’t have to peel them. They also cook really quickly so this makes a great side dish for last minute dinners.

I like using all different kinds of potatoes, but my favorite is red potatoes. They always come out nice and tender, but still crispy on the outside. I like to serve these for breakfast, lunch or dinner and they go great with steaks, pork chops, chicken breasts and much more!

This is one of those recipes where you can really dress them up however you want. Sometimes I’ll change it up a bit by adding in different seasonings, but this herb and garlic seasoning plus cajun is my favorite. It always gives them a nice little kick!

Benefits of Baby Potatoes

One of the great things about baby potatoes is that they’re so versatile and you can incorporate them into just about any meal. They’re also packed with nutrients and contain potassium, vitamin C, fiber and more. These are great when you’re looking for low calorie, healthy options.

They can also help with muscle function since they contain essential amino acids. They are also known to keep your bones strong plus they are high in antioxidants.

Ingredients Needed

baby red potatoes – you can also use gold potatoes if you prefer, but the texture of red potatoes is best in this recipe

olive oil – while air frying means using less oil, you’ll need a little to help these soften and brown up while also adding great flavor

herb and garlic seasoning – I like a good all purpose seasoning like this for any number of recipes, and it’s perfect for adding flavor to these potatoes

cajun seasoning – while the herb and garlic alone would be delicious, the cajun seasoning gives these potatoes and extra kick

How To Make Air Fryer Baby Potatoes

What to do with Leftovers

You can double or triple this recipe so you have plenty to last throughout the week. Leftovers reheat great in a skillet with a little bit of olive oil and cook until heated through. They also freeze great for up to two months, which makes them a wonderful addition to your weekly meal prep!
