I love my air fryer because it’s so easy to cook anything in it! My latest veggie side dish made in the Air Fryer is Air Fryer Red Potatoes. This method makes is crispy on the outside, tasty and tender on the inside, perfect side dish for any entrée!
By the way, potatoes are healthy for you! I know people tend to think they’re just calories and carbs these days but actually they’re also super nutritious – just to start:
Vitamin C – They’re packed with Vitamin C. Especially the skin!
Potassium – Potatoes actually have more potassium than a banana!
Vitamin B6 – One potato is already about 10% of your daily needs for this important vitamin!
And, that’s just 3 of many health benefits. So that’s why I don’t feel horrible eating them here and there. Obviously, I don’t recommend having like 10 potatoes a day or anything, but they are quite nutritious as a side or appetizer!
