6

These air fryer roast potatoes are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and make the perfect side dish for almost any meal.

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) potatoes, peeled or unpeeled
• 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme (optional)

Instructions

1. Cut potatoes into 1-inch (2.5 cm) chunks.
2. Place them in a bowl of cold water for 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch (optional but helps make them crispier).
3. Drain and pat completely dry with paper towels.
4. Toss with olive oil and seasonings until evenly coated.
5. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.
6. Arrange potatoes in a single layer in the basket.
7. Air fry for 18–22 minutes, shaking the basket every 6–8 minutes.
8. Cook until golden brown and crispy. Add an extra 2–5 minutes if needed.
