Ingredients
Potatoes
- 1 pound fingerling potatoes
- olive oil spray or about 1 teaspoon olive oil
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic small
- ½ teaspoon fresh rosemary or thyme leaves chopped finely if using rosemary
- kosher salt to taste
Instructions
Potatoes
-
Wash your potatoes, being sure to scrub off any dirt, and dry well. Remove any eyes, green sections, or brown portions of the potatoes. Slice in half lengthwise.
-
Spray lightly with olive oil spray or toss with about 1 teaspoon of olive oil, season with salt, and add to the air fryer basket.
-
Set the air fryer for 15 minutes at 350°F. Check for a golden brown, crisp exterior and a soft, fully cooked interior. Add more time if needed.
Dressing
- In the meantime, add your lemon juice, olive oil, thyme, and salt to a small jar or bowl. Grate the garlic with a Microplane or mince finely and add to the mixture. Add the lid and shake or whisk until combined.
- Once cooked, toss the potatoes in the dressing, taste for seasoning, adding salt if needed, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Avoid crowding the air fryer basket. Work in batches to give the potatoes room to brown evenly.
- To store leftovers, cool and and then place in an airtight container, making sure to transfer to the fridge within 2 hours of cooking for food safety reasons.
- Potatoes will last for 3 to 5 days in the fridge when stored in an airtight container.
- You can make these potatoes ahead of time, but they will not maintain their crispiness.
- You can reheat this in the oven for 10-20 minutes at 400°F or in the microwave for a few minutes. Microwaved potatoes have a tendency to be a bit dry, so try to reserve some dressing for after they are reheated.
- If you plan to freeze these potatoes, do so before adding the dressing. They will last for up to 4 months in the freezer. Cool completely and store in an airtight container. Freezing will impact the texture of the potato.
- To reheat from frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat in the oven or microwave as above.
- You can also reheat in the air fryer at 350°F. Check every few minutes to see when they are ready.
- If your potatoes come with sections that are green, cut these sections off. The green sections will taste bitter.
- If you are concerned about your first batch getting cold, heat your regular oven to its lowest setting, usually 170 to 200°F, and place your potatoes in the preheated oven in an oven-safe dish.
