Air Fryer Potatoes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They’re made with just a fraction of the oil and cook to perfection in no time at all!
Just 5 ingredients and much less oil than other methods of cooking, these Air Fryer roasted potatoes are perfectly tender and crisp. Serve as a side with chicken breasts or as a quick and easy snack or appetizer with dip.
A Note on Air Fryers
If you’re looking at this recipe you may already have an air fryer but if not, you can buy them at most stores now or online.
I have had three types of Air Fryers and so far, this Air Fryer here is my favorite. I love it because it has a large capacity, it’s super easy to use and easy to clean. While it’s a bit of an investment, the price is pretty good.
I find this air fryer makes things crispy and delicious in no time at all! It is one appliance I keep on my counter and use almost daily for reheating everything from pizza to snacks and even french fries! View more air fryers here.
Why We Love This Recipe!
These Air Fryer Potatoes are quick and easy to make and everyone loves them (and they make for a great appetizer with a homemade ranch dip).
They cook in about half of the time compared to oven roasted potatoes.
They’re lower in fat and calories than traditional fried potatoes, making them a great alternative.
These roasted potatoes will come out perfectly crispy every time, seasoned with garlic and rosemary. Feel free to switch up the seasoning for a different taste!
Ingredients & Variations
Potatoes are such versatile veggies to cook with. There are so many variations, the sky is the limit!
POTATOES Any potatoes will work great! I love baby potatoes in this recipe but just like roasted potatoes, Russet, Yukon Gold, or red potatoes are all great choices!
OIL This recipe uses a little bit of olive oil, but there are many variations that will work if you don’t have any! Canola, sunflower, avocado, or peanut oil will all taste delicious!
SEASONINGS Garlic powder, fresh rosemary, and salt and pepper are all that’s needed to season these potatoes!
VARIATIONS Why not switch up the seasonings and sprinkle on cajun seasoning, Montreal steak spice, or even homemade seasoned salt?
Top with sour cream, chives, and shredded cheese for a great side dish that pairs perfectly with anything!
How to Make Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes
Super easy and super quick, these potatoes will be ready in no time!
- Cut potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Ensure they are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Toss potatoes with seasonings (per recipe below) and place in a single layer in the air fryer.
- Cook for 20-22 minutes, stirring halfway through. Serve hot.
Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Potatoes
- Allow the air fryer to pre-heat before adding potatoes. This helps make them extra crispy.
- Instructions may vary based on the brand of Air Fryer. Check your user manual for volume and times.
- Be sure the potatoes are patted dry so the seasonings stick to the potatoes and the crisp instead of steam!
- To reheat leftovers, place them back in the (preheated) air fryer for 5-10 minutes.
