Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Vegetables     Potato Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup water
Coarse salt
1 pound fingerling potatoes, scrubbed clean
3 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Place water and some salt into a saucepan fitted with a steamer basket and bring to a boil.
  • Add potatoes to basket and steam over medium-low heat until tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife.
  • Meanwhile, in a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven, heat oil to 350 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer.
  • Transfer potatoes to a bowl to cool. Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and halve lengthwise; cut into 3/4-inch pieces. Return pieces to bowl and shake them for 5 to 10 seconds to roughen the edges.
  • Add potatoes to Dutch oven, in batches if necessary, and fry until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer potatoes to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Season generously with salt and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy fingerling potatoes, ensure they are thoroughly dried before air frying. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  • For a flavorful twist, coat the potatoes in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices before air frying. Popular seasonings include garlic powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and salt.
  • To prevent the potatoes from sticking to the air fryer basket, lightly grease it with cooking oil or use parchment paper.
  • Shake the air fryer basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispy texture.
  • Check the doneness of the potatoes by piercing them with a fork. They should be tender on the inside but slightly crispy on the outside.

Conclusion:

Air-fried fingerling potatoes are a delicious, healthy, and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed as part of various meals. With minimal preparation and a short cooking time, these crispy and tender potatoes are a perfect addition to any weeknight dinner or special occasion. Experiment with different seasonings and serving options to create a flavorful and satisfying side dish that everyone will love. Whether you prefer them plain or topped with your favorite herbs, sauces, or cheeses, air-fried fingerling potatoes are sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
