Quick and Crispy Air Fryer Potatoes: The Perfect Side Dish, Ready in Minutes!

We make a lot of air fryer baby potatoes around here. 

This morning, I was thinking about these “Crash Potatoes” that you cook on the grill and thought – these would be so good in the air fryer. Maybe even better.

And these Twice Air-Fried Potatoes were born. 

And I was right…the air-fried version give just the best crispy skin pieces, along with perfectly tender bites of potato. 

Note: highly recommend using a baby potato or fingerling potato. I think that small gold potatoes would be delicious cooked in this way too, but you’ll need to air-fry them longer on the first round since they are thicker. 

Enjoy!
