Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes

Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes are a quick and easy side dish. Using red potatoes, a touch of olive oil and seasoning, these potatoes can be made in under 15 minutes.  

If you like roasted veggies be sure to give these a try: Air Fryer Roasted Broccoli, Air Fryer Roasted Asparagus and Air Fryer Roasted Brussels Sprouts. 

Roasted Potatoes are just one of many things I have been cooking up in my air fryer. I love using the air fryer because the veggies or potatoes aren’t sitting in oil like with roasting in the oven or on the stove. Everything also comes out perfectly crisp on all sides! 

Roasted potatoes are just a great go-to side dish. I love serving them with this Baked Chicken or Instant Pot BBQ Chicken. These potatoes also go great with any meat or even as a side for eggs. 

Ingredients needed:

Potatoes – I like using baby red potatoes but you could also cut up russet or golden potatoes. 

Oil – Olive oil is a great option. You could also use avocado oil or vegetable oil. 

Spices – There are many great options to spicing these up.

These roasted potatoes cook up in about half the time as in the oven which makes this a great option for a busy evening. 

• Cut: Quarter potatoes into small chunks for quick and even roasting.

• Prepare: Pour olive oil and garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper over potatoes. You can place them in a bowl or a large plastic zip bag. Stir the potatoes to evenly coat with oil and spices.
• Cook: Place the potatoes in an even layer in the air fryer basket. Roast at 400 for 10 – 12 minutes. 

Recipe tips

• Air fryers are all a little bit different when it comes to cooking time. My potatoes were perfect at 12 minutes. I suggest starting at 10 minutes and add time if necessary. 
• These potatoes can be seasoned in many different ways. I also like adding Italian seasoning blend or Greek seasoning or just seasoned salt. 

What potatoes are best for roasting?

I love using baby red potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes for roasting. They hold their shape and stay crispy on the outside but creamy on the inside. I have also used this method with sweet potatoes. 

How to store

These stay good in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven. 

Are air fryer potatoes healthy?

Yes! Roasting them this way cuts back on oil and grease. Potatoes are pretty low in calories, contain fiber, potassium and vitamins.
