Ingredients

  • 1 lb 448g Baby Gold Potatoes, quartered
  • 1 Tbsp 16g Olive Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Chipotle Chili Powder or your choice of chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Coriander

Instructions

  • Wash and quarter the potatoes before tossing in the olive oil. Add to the air fryer basket and air fry at 400ºF for 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes start to turn golden brown around the edges.
  • Add the potatoes back to the bowl and toss with all the spices.
  • Return to the basket and air fry another 8-10 minutes at 400ºF or until the potatoes are as crispy as you'd like.
  • Optional: toss with chopped cilantro or dried cilantro flakes and serve with a dollop of fat free Greek yogurt.

Notes

Each serving of Mexican potatoes has 4 WW SmartPoints (blue).

For Mexican Roasted Potatoes in an Oven

Toss the quartered potatoes in the olive oil before adding the seasoning. Stir to fully coat the potatoes in the seasoning. Add the potatoes to a large baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding. Bake for 30-40 minutes at 450ºF. You can use the broiler in the last few minutes for extra crispy potatoes.

Doubling the Recipe

Depending on the size of your air fryer, you can either cook in batches or shake the potatoes every 5 minutes or so during air frying. You'll likely need to extend the cook time by a few minutes as well.
