Here’s a simple and crispy Air Fryer Roast Potatoes recipe that’s perfect as a side dish for any meal.
Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds (about 4 medium) baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Rinse and dice the potatoes into evenly sized 1-inch cubes (you can leave the skin on for extra texture).
- Pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This will help them get crispier.
3. Season the Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika (if using), rosemary or thyme, salt, and black pepper. Make sure all the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
4. Air Fry the Potatoes:
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Add the seasoned potatoes to the air fryer basket in a single layer. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding (this helps the potatoes crisp up more).
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
- The potatoes are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender inside. If you prefer them crispier, cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
5. Serve:
- Once done, remove the potatoes from the air fryer and garnish with freshly chopped parsley (optional). Serve immediately with your favorite main dish.
Tips:
- Crispier Potatoes: Make sure the potatoes are dry before seasoning, and don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches for the crispiest results.
- Different Seasonings: Customize the flavor by using different herbs and spices, such as smoked paprika, chili powder, or Italian seasoning.
- Storage and Reheating: Store leftover roast potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply air fry them again at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes until crispy.
These Air Fryer Roast Potatoes are quick, crispy, and full of flavor—perfect for any meal!
