Ingredients:
- Potatoes (russet or Yukon Gold work well)
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Optional seasonings (such as paprika, garlic powder, rosemary, or thyme)
Instructions:
- Wash and peel the potatoes (if desired). Cut them into even-sized pieces, like wedges, cubes, or rounds, for even cooking.
- Place the potato pieces in a bowl and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil. You want just enough to coat the potatoes lightly, so they crisp up in the air fryer. Toss the potatoes to ensure they’re evenly coated.
- Season the potatoes with salt and any other desired seasonings. Popular choices include paprika, garlic powder, rosemary, or thyme. Toss the potatoes again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Preheat your air fryer to around 375-400°F (190-200°C).
- Place the seasoned potato pieces in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are in a single layer and not crowded to ensure even cooking. You may need to cook them in batches if you have a lot of potatoes.
- Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for about 15-20 minutes, shaking or flipping them halfway through to ensure even crispiness. Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model and the size of the potato pieces.
- Check for doneness by poking a fork or toothpick into a potato; they should be tender inside, and the outside should be golden and crispy.
- Once the potatoes are cooked to your desired level of crispiness, remove them from the air fryer and serve immediately.
- You can garnish the crispy air fryer potatoes with fresh herbs, such as parsley, and serve them with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, aioli, or ranch dressing….
