- Wash potatoes and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut into potato wedges and place in a large bowl.

🥄 Equipment
Air Fryer: I have used both a basket air fryer and tray air fryer. Both work great for this recipe.
Mixing bowls
Wooden spoon: for tossing the ingredients
🥫Storage
Refrigerate: store leftovers in an airtight container up to 4 days.
Freeze: not recommended, you will likely not have leftovers as this is a small batch recipe.
📖 Variations
- Toss a tablespoon of parmesan cheese to potatoes before cooking.
- Add some of your favorite fresh herbs or dried italian seasoning.
💭 Tips
- If using an air fryer with trays instead of an air fryer basket, for best results, be sure to put the air fryer tray on the bottom rack so the potatoes will evenly brown. If desired, the last minute of cook time you can place the tray on the top rack to brown the potatoes a little more.
- Cook times may vary depending on the size of your air fryer and/or potatoes. Larger potatoes will need longer cook times.
- Roast these fingerling potatoes in the oven instead. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes
