Air fryer roasted potatoes are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and way faster than oven roasting. Here’s a simple guide:
Ingredients
- 1–2 pounds potatoes (Yukon Gold, red, or russet), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (rosemary, thyme, or parsley)
Method
- Prep the potatoes: Wash and cube them evenly so they cook uniformly.
- Season: Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat the air fryer: 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.
- Air fry: Place potatoes in the basket in a single layer. Cook at 400°F for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Check doneness: Potatoes should be golden brown and tender inside. Cook 2–5 more minutes if needed.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.
✨ Tips for extra crispiness:
- Don’t overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if needed.
- Pat the potatoes dry before tossing with oil to remove excess moisture.
- Toss halfway through cooking for even browning.
If you want, I can give you a flavor-packed version with parmesan and garlic that tastes restaurant-level. Do you want me to do that?
