Air fryer roasted potatoes are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional oven-roasted potatoes. They come out crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them a perfect side dish for any meal. Here’s a simple recipe to make air fryer roasted potatoes:
Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized potatoes (russet or Yukon gold)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional toppings: chopped fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary), grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut them into bite-sized cubes or wedges, depending on your preference. Try to keep the pieces roughly the same size for even cooking.
- In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the potato pieces to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the oil and spice mixture.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
- Once the air fryer is preheated, place the potato pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches if your air fryer is small.
- Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket or tossing the potatoes halfway through cooking. This will help ensure even browning.
- Check the potatoes for doneness by inserting a fork or toothpick into a few pieces. They should be tender on the inside and golden brown and crispy on the outside. If they need more time, you can continue cooking for a few more minutes.
- Once the potatoes are cooked to your desired crispiness, remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle with any optional toppings like fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve the air fryer roasted potatoes hot as a side dish with your favorite main course. They pair well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or even as a standalone snack.
Enjoy your delicious and crispy air fryer roasted potatoes!
