 So yesterday, Kathryn was going to Walmart for diapers.

Air Fryer Baby Potatoes

The easiest way to make air fryer baby potatoes in minutes with only a few simple ingredients. A perfect side dish to go with any main course.  Just like my recipe for air fryer green beans, this air fryer baby potatoes is one of my favorite easy side dishes that pairs well with just about any main dish.
