Hereβs a simple and tasty way to make air fryer potatoes β crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and much quicker than roasting in the oven. π₯β¨
π Ingredients
- 2β3 medium potatoes (Russet, Yukon Gold, or red potatoes)
- 1β2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, paprika, rosemary, or thyme for extra flavor
π₯ Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes
- Wash and peel if desired.
- Cut into cubes, wedges, or even thin fries.
- Season
- Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings.
- Preheat Air Fryer
- Preheat to 400Β°F / 200Β°C for 3β5 minutes.
- Cook
- Place potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
- Cook 15β20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crisping.
- Cook longer (up to 25 minutes) if you want extra crispy edges.
- Serve
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with ketchup, aioli, or your favorite dip.
π½οΈ Tips
- For extra crunch, soak cubed potatoes in water for 20β30 minutes, then dry before tossing in oil.
- Sweet potatoes work too β just reduce cooking time slightly.
I can also give a loaded air fryer potato version with cheese, bacon, and herbs if you want a more indulgent snack. Do you want me to?
