How to Make Crispy Air Fryer Roast Potatoes
1. Prep the Potatoes
- Wash and cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks. If using baby potatoes, you can halve or quarter them.
- Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture—this helps them crisp up better.
2. Season the Potatoes
- In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Mix well to coat all the potatoes evenly.
3. Preheat & Air Fry
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket (avoid overcrowding for the best crispiness).
- Cook for 18-22 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
4. Check for Crispiness
- The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy when done. If they need more crisping, air fry for an extra 2-3 minutes.
5. Serve & Enjoy!
- Transfer to a plate and garnish with fresh herbs, parmesan, or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.
