Air Fryer Parsley Baby Potatoes

Air Fryer Parsley Baby Potatoes are tender, creamy little potatoes with crisp skins, melted butter, and fresh parsley. The air fryer cooks them quickly without heating up the oven, making this an easy side dish for weeknight dinners. A simple seasoning of kosher salt and black pepper keeps the potatoes savory while the parsley adds a fresh finish.

Notes

Do Not Crowd The Basket

Keep the potatoes in a single layer so the hot air can circulate around them. If your air fryer basket is small, cook the potatoes in batches instead of stacking them.

Potato Size Matters

Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the baby potatoes. Smaller potatoes may finish closer to 12 minutes, while larger potatoes may need the full 15 minutes or a little longer.

How To Tell When They Are Done

The potatoes are ready when they are fork-tender in the center and lightly crisp on the outside. If they are still firm, continue cooking in 2-minute increments.

Add Butter And Parsley After Cooking

Toss the potatoes with melted butter and fresh parsley after they come out of the air fryer. This keeps the parsley bright and fresh while the butter coats the warm potatoes.
