Provided by Karin and Ken

Categories     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 - 1 1/2 pounds baby, mini or little potatoes
2-3 tablespoons olive or another vegetable oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (cajun seasoning works well too)
1/4 -1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Wash and dry baby potatoes with paper towel. If the potatoes are medium sized, cut into half. Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
  • In a large bowl, mix potatoes with spices such as garlic powder, Italian seasoning, red chili flakes, salt, black pepper, and olive oil.
  • Toss them to coat evenly.
  • Transfer the potatoes to air fryer basket and fry at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, toss to adjust the potatoes. Place basket back inside your air fryer.
  • Set timer for another 8 or 10 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown and crispy. I will check at 8 minutes just to see how the potatoes look. If necessary I put the potatoes back in for 2 to 4 more minutes. Unfortunately the exact cooking time will vary depending on the size of the baby potatoes.
  • Remove the roasted baby potatoes from air fryer basket and serve hot.
  • Serve with your favorite main course or with a dipping sauce. Enjoy every bite!

RAINBOW POTATO ROAST



Rainbow Potato Roast image

Each different type of potato here has its own distinctive flavor and texture as well as color. Some will roast more quickly than others but it doesn't matter to me if certain pieces in the mix become very soft. My favorite mix here consists of sweet potato, purple potatoes, fingerlings, Yukon golds and red bliss.

Categories     easy, side dish

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 garlic clove, cut in half
1 1/2 pounds mixed white, yellow, purple, red and sweet potatoes (Yukon golds, fingerlings, red potatoes etc.), peeled if desired and cut in 1-inch pieces (I peel sweet potatoes but not potatoes with smooth skins.)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 ounce Parmesan, grated (1/4 cup) (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Rub a 2- or 3-quart baking dish or gratin with the cut side of the garlic and then brush with olive oil. Alternatively, line a sheet pan with parchment and omit the garlic. Place the potatoes in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper, add the sage and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and toss again. Arrange in the baking dish or on the baking sheet.
  • Bake 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. If you are using a baking dish the some of the potatoes might stick, but just coax them away from the dish with your spoon.
  • Add the remaining oil and the cheese if using, stir together and bake another 10 minutes, until the potatoes are crispy on the edges. Serve hot or warm.

Roasted Baby Potatoes image

Quick and easy recipe for roasted baby potatoes. Bake them at the same time as you cook your main dish! Can also be used as a quick appetizer! These were so good you don't even need butter or salt to taste. Made the mistake of having them done before the main dish and they were almost all gone by the time dinner started!

Smashed Tri-Color Potatoes image

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds tri-color creamer potatoes
4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano
Sour cream, for garnish
Chopped fresh dill, for garnish
Chopped fresh chives, for garnish
Zest of 1 lemon, for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine the potatoes, garlic and bay leaves in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Add some salt, then cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer the potatoes until a fork can easily pierce the skin, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot with the garlic (be sure to discard the bay leaves). Add the oil and butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using a potato masher, smash the potatoes into a chunky mixture.
  • Spread the potato mixture in an even layer in a large casserole or gratin dish. Season the potatoes again with salt and pepper, drizzle with additional oil and sprinkle the Parmesan over the top. Bake the potatoes until a crispy, golden crust forms on top, 35 to 45 minutes. Dot sour cream across the top and garnish with dill, chives and lemon zest while hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Small, colorful potatoes, such as fingerling, baby red, and Yukon Gold, work best for this recipe.
  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly: Scrub the potatoes with a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Toss the potatoes with olive oil and seasonings: This will help them roast evenly and develop a flavorful crust.
  • Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them develop a crispy exterior and tender interior.
  • Shake the baking sheet halfway through cooking: This will help the potatoes cook evenly.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Small, colorful potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to prepare and can be roasted, boiled, or mashed. When roasted, they develop a crispy exterior and tender interior that is sure to please everyone at the table. With their bright colors and delicious flavor, small, colorful potatoes are sure to brighten up any meal.
