Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes

Crispy, golden, and perfectly seasoned, these Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes are the ultimate side dish for any meal. Quick to prepare and full of flavor, they’re a crowd-pleaser you’ll want to make again and again.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ lbs baby potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon oil (olive oil works best)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes

  1. Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size. For breakfast-style potatoes, dice them into smaller pieces for quicker cooking.

2. Season the Potatoes

  1. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes with oil, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt.
  2. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

3. Air Fry the Potatoes

  1. Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Overcrowding may result in uneven cooking.
  2. Set the air fryer to 400°F (205°C) and cook for 10 minutes.
  3. Flip the potatoes and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of crispiness.

4. Garnish and Serve

  1. Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
  2. Serve immediately with your favorite dip, ketchup, or as a side to your main dish.

Tips for the Perfect Air Fryer Potatoes

  • Uniform Size: Cut the potatoes into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • Extra Crispiness: For an extra crispy texture, pat the potatoes dry thoroughly before seasoning.
  • Oil Alternatives: Use avocado or grapeseed oil for higher heat tolerance.
  • Versatility: Switch up the seasonings with smoked paprika, rosemary, or Cajun spice for a new flavor profile.
