Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Masala Baby Potatoes
- For extra flavor, marinate the potatoes in the masala paste for at least 30 minutes before air frying.
- Adjust the amount of red chili to your preferred spice level. Start with less and add more as needed.

- Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions before serving for added freshness and visual appeal.

Yum! This recipe is a must-try.
This looks divine! Can’t wait to make it.
Wow what a lovely recipe, your video leaves me drooling. I love it. What I really liked was the unique way of making the masala. I don’t have Airfryer, can I bake it in Oven? What would be the baking parameters.
This is fantastic! Thank you for sharing.
