Here’s a simple and foolproof recipe:
🥔 Crispy Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes
Ingredients
-
1½ lbs (about 700 g) baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
-
1½ tbsp olive oil
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
1 tsp paprika (optional for color and flavor)
-
½ tsp salt
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
(Optional) ½ tsp dried rosemary, thyme, or Italian seasoning
-
(Optional garnish) Fresh parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese
👩🍳 Instructions
-
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3–5 minutes.
-
Prepare the potatoes:
-
Wash and dry the potatoes well.
-
Cut into evenly sized chunks (this helps them cook evenly).
-
-
Season:
-
In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and herbs until well coated.
-
-
Air fry:
-
Add potatoes to the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
-
Cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
-
-
Serve:
-
Sprinkle with fresh parsley or Parmesan while hot.
-
Serve as a side to eggs, steak, chicken, or fish.
-
🔥 Tips for Perfect Potatoes
-
Don’t overcrowd the basket — air circulation makes them crisp.
-
For extra crunch, soak the potato chunks in cold water for 20–30 minutes, then pat dry before seasoning.
-
Try flavored variations:
-
Spicy: Add chili powder or cayenne
-
Herby: Add rosemary, thyme, or dill
-
Garlic-Parmesan: Toss cooked potatoes in melted butter, minced garlic, and Parmesan
