Small potatoes in air fryer

Using the air fryer to make baked potatoes might seem odd but it gives them a really great texture. They get soft and moist inside but the outside is slightly crisp and browned. The great thing about the air fryer is that you don’t have to submerge the potatoes in a vat of oil to give them a nice crispy exterior!

It’s one of the reasons we like our air fryer. It gives food that crisp, just-fried texture without all the added calories, fat, and grease smelling up the house! Air fryer cauliflower is another easy recipe that gets done perfectly without traditional deep frying.

Pair these potatoes with Crockpot Pulled Beef for a delicious meal the whole family will love.

Here is what you will need to make these air fryer baked potatoes:

The only note I have about this recipe is that you want to make sure you are choosing small potatoes. I know it says “baby” and that should indicate that they need to be small but I’ll say it again before the questions start. If the potatoes are more than about 2 inches they are not going to get done in the same amount of time that mine did.

You can use larger potatoes if you like but you’ll need to recalculate the nutrition and points and you’ll need to keep checking them every few minutes after 25 to see when they are fork tender!

• Baby Yukon Gold potatoes
• Olive oil
• Hormel Real Bacon Bits
• Chopped fresh chives
• Finely shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• Fat free Greek yogurt
• Kosher salt

Which WW Program are these points for?

WW has definitely changed from 2020 to now. They went from three to one plan to multiple plans and back to one plan again. So in 2023, we have just plain old “POINTS.”

• Be sure to calculate the points value of the foods and recipes you eat in the app.
• Always add ingredients and serving sizes and don’t rely on the nutrition facts in the recipe.
• Accuracy will come from the information you input on the app.

This recipe makes 2 servings so these points are for half of the recipe! If you wanted to cut the points back you could make the total recipe 4 servings.
