Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes Ingredients

• Potatoes: I recommend using Yukon Gold potatoes since they have tender, buttery centers, and crisp up so beautifully on the outside without needing to remove the skin.
• Oil: I recommend using extra virgin olive oil, but you can use what you have on hand, as long as the oil can withstand 400°F and is a flavor that goes well with seasoned potatoes.
• Seasonings: I use Italian seasoning as the flavorful base, then add in some homemade cajun seasoning for some added spice.
• Garlic: freshly minced garlic is great, but store-bought minced garlic is fine here, too!
• Salt and Pepper: freshly-ground is best for these two, but go ahead and use the prepared kind.

How to Roast Potatoes in An Air Fryer

Making roasted potatoes in an air fryer is really as simple as 5 steps with just a few easy ingredients. The result? Crispy, well-seasoned exteriors, and a buttery, soft center.

Prep the recipe by cutting Yukon Gold potatoes into evenly uniform 1-inch pieces. Then, add potatoes, oil, and seasonings to a large mixing bowl.

Stir potatoes until every single cube is nicely coated in seasonings and oil. Here, you can add some cajun seasoning for added spice!

How Long to Cook / Roast Potatoes in an Air Fryer

Next, create a single layer of roasted potatoes in the air fryer basket, cooking at 400°F for about 15 minutes.

Flip halfway through, cooking until crisped on the edges and soft in the centers.

Garnish with parsley and serve with your favorite dips and dressings. Enjoy the best air fryer roasted potatoes!

Tips for Crispy Roasted Potatoes in Air Fryer

• Make sure to cut your potatoes into even, 1-inch pieces. A little variation is okay, but for even cooking cut them uniformly.
• Use Yukon Gold potatoes. They’re buttery on the inside and crisp up so beautifully on the outside due to their thin, delicate skin.
• Create a single layer of potatoes in the air fryer basket. Crowding the potatoes will prevent hot air from flowing through and crisping them up to perfection!
• Flip the potatoes halfway through. It’s tempting to skip this step for ease, but a quick flip will ensure potatoes are evenly crisp on both sides, instead of soft on one side, and burnt on the other.

Flavor Variations & Dips

• Dips: try creamy dips like chipotle aioli or roasted garlic aioli.
• Seasonings: for this air fryer roasted potatoes recipe, I used a combo of Italian seasoning and Cajun seasoning, but you can try taco seasoning, seasoned salt, or tasty garlic salt.
• Dressings: Drizzle your roasted potatoes in dressings like Italian dressing (herby and delish), ranch dressing (creamy and zesty), honey mustard dressing (my fave with a sweet twist), and more.

Tools You Need
