Here’s a simple and delicious way to make air fryer roasted potatoes that are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of flavor 🥔✨
Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 2 cups baby potatoes or regular potatoes, cut into bite-sized chunks
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder (or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced)
- 1 tsp paprika (smoked paprika works great)
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Optional: fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or parsley
Instructions
1. Prep the Potatoes
- Wash and cut potatoes into evenly sized chunks.
- Pat dry with a paper towel (this helps them crisp better).
2. Season
- Toss potatoes in a bowl with olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add fresh herbs if using.
3. Air Fry
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Place potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer (don’t overcrowd).
- Cook 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
4. Check & Serve
- Potatoes should be golden brown and crispy outside, soft inside.
- Serve hot, sprinkled with fresh parsley or a little extra salt.
Tips for Maximum Crispiness
- Don’t skip drying the potatoes before oiling.
- Shake or stir the potatoes halfway through cooking.
- For extra flavor, toss with a squeeze of lemon juice or grated Parmesan after cooking.
âś… Result:
Crispy, golden air fryer potatoes that are lighter than oven-roasted and packed with flavor—perfect as a side or snack.
If you want, I can make a “loaded” version with cheese, bacon bits, and green onions—still air-fried and extra crispy.
Do you want me to do that?
