🥔 Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes

Air fryer roasted potatoes are one of the easiest and tastiest side dishes you can make. They turn out crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and are ready in about 20 minutes. They use just a small amount of oil and are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

They’re also very customizable—you can change the seasonings, add herbs, garlic, cheese, or a little spice to suit your taste.

📝 Ingredients

3 medium potatoes, diced (Yukon gold, red, or baby potatoes work well)
1–2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
½ teaspoon dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, or Italian seasoning)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: chopped fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Wash and Cut

Scrub the potatoes clean.
Cut into even 1-inch cubes. Peeling is optional.

2. Season

Place potatoes in a large bowl.
Add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, herbs, salt, and pepper.
Toss until all pieces are evenly coated.

3. Preheat Air Fryer

Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.

4. Air Fry

Place potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Check at 15 minutes and cook longer if you want them extra crispy.

5. Garnish & Serve

Remove from air fryer and sprinkle with parsley or Parmesan, if using.
Serve hot.

✨ Tips & Tricks

Do not overcrowd the basket—air circulation makes them crispy.
For extra crispiness: soak diced potatoes in cold water for 20 minutes, then dry well before seasoning.
Try different seasonings: Cajun spice, taco seasoning, smoked paprika, or ranch seasoning.
Baby potatoes can be halved instead of diced.

🧊 Storage

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
