Choose fresh potatoes that are free of eyes, soft spots, or broken skin.
Seasonings – Rosemary, thyme, and garlic give these potatoes their signature flavor. Other seasonings like oregano, parsley, paprika, or a dash of red chili powder give air fryer potatoes a new flavor to match any meal!
How to Cook Potatoes in the Air Fryer
This recipe is so versatile and easy to make!
- Rinse and slice the potatoes in half.
- Toss them in the herbed oil mixture and place them in the air fryer in a single layer.
- Cook the potatoes in the air fryer (per the recipe below) shaking the basket halfway through.
PRO TIP: Tossing potatoes in leftover bacon grease with the herbs mixed in gives a heartier flavor to the potatoes.
Tips for Crispy Potatoes
- Always preheat the air fryer before using it so the exterior of the potatoes gets crispy while the inside stays soft and tender.
- For cheesy potatoes, add grated parmesan cheese to the seasoned oil before cooking.
- Leave plenty of room between the potatoes so the air can circulate all around them. Cook in batches if necessary and keep cooked batches warm in the oven.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer again to regain their crispiness.
