Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes

Air fryer roasted potatoes are quickly becoming my go-to easy side dish recipe. They go with so many different entrees or are even a tasty appetizer. Air fryer potatoes are extremely tasty, and our kids absolutely love them too. So, naturally when I find a recipe that the kids like I tend to make it often.

Since these potatoes are made in the air fryer, you can spend your time focusing on the main part of the meal and let the air fryer do the hard work. 

These potatoes are not exactly french fries because they use a lot less oil and they are larger potatoes than the thin little slices used for fries. These oven-roasted potatoes are about 1-inch pieces, and they are just as good as any fries I’ve had.

How to Make Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes Recipe

1. Grab a large mixing bowl and toss together your chopped up russet potatoes, olive oil, parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. 
2. After the potatoes are completely coated in the oil and seasonings, carefully place them in air fryer basket. 
3. Then, place the basket into the Instant Pot’s inner pot and place the air fryer lid on top. 
4. After you have that set up, set the temperature to 400 degrees and set the timer for 10 minutes. 
5. When the 10 minutes are up remove the lid of the air fryer, then carefully shake the basket to stir the potatoes. 
6. After the potatoes have been shaken, place the lid back on and allow the potatoes to cook until they are are golden brown and tender inside. This should take about 7-8 minutes. 
7. When the potatoes are done cooking, pour them onto another serving place and sprinkle them with more salt and pepper. 
8. Then, just serve them hot and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

• Place potatoes in a single layer to get them the crispiest.
• I use yellow potatoes, but any kind of potato will work.
• Season potatoes generously. I use onion powder and garlic powder. Sometimes, I will add fresh rosemary, Italian seasoning, or cajun seasoning. You can also cut up fresh garlic cloves, and add them to the potatoes before roasting. Fresh herbs can be added after you air fried the potatoes.
• Try to cut the potato pieces evenly, so they cook the same.
• If you have leftover potatoes, you can store them in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days. Reheat them in the air fryer on the next day.
• A little bit of oil goes a long way.
• Make sure to cook the potatoes for long enough. Cooking time depends on your air fryer, but typically it is completed in 10 minutes.
