If yours are bigger than an inch or so around, cut them into quarters so that they'll cook evenly.

Any variety of small potatoes will work with this recipe. Red, yellow, purple, or white potatoes are all delicious. My grocery store sells a variety bag of small potatoes in different colors, and I've made that using this recipe too! These air fryer instructions will work for regular-sized potatoes too!

It's fine to have the potatoes touching and overlapping but be sure not to try to cook more than a pound and a half of potatoes at a time. You want the potato pieces in almost a single layer, with lots of room for the hot air to circulate. With a smaller air fryer, you should make fewer potatoes.
