Ingredients

2 cups baby potatoes washed and halved
2 red onions thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Montreal steak spices mix
1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil or any cooking oil of your choice
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Start by washing and halving the baby potatoes. Thinly slice the red onions. This preparation step ensures even cooking and optimal flavor distribution.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, sliced red onions, Montreal steak spices mix, and oil. Toss the ingredients together until the potatoes and onions are evenly coated with the spices and oil.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for a few minutes. This will ensure that your potatoes and onions start cooking immediately and achieve that perfect crispy texture.
Once the air fryer is preheated, transfer the seasoned potatoes and onions to the air fryer basket, spreading them out in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
Air fry the potatoes and onions at 375°F for approximately 20-30 minutes minutes, shaking the basket or tossing the ingredients halfway through the cooking time. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning and achieve your desired level of crispiness.
Once the potatoes and onions are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer. Season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring the flavors are perfectly balanced.
Plate your Crispy Air Fryer Potatoes and Onions, and get ready to savor the deliciousness. These make an excellent side dish for any meal or a delightful snack for any occasion.

Notes

Tips

Aim for uniform sizes when cutting the baby potatoes and slicing the red onions. This ensures even cooking, with all pieces reaching the desired level of crispiness simultaneously.
Preheating is crucial for achieving that crispy exterior. It kickstarts the cooking process, ensuring your potatoes and onions start sizzling the moment they enter the air fryer.
To achieve optimal crispiness, spread the seasoned potatoes and onions in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and a less crispy result.
