This crisp air fryer potatoes are a snap to fix, and they brown even more beautifully than oven-roasted. I honestly think they’re better roasted in the air fryer. A small amount of olive oil and seasonings are all you need to add flavor to the potatoes. I use baby red potatoes, but Yukon gold or larger red or gold potatoes are fine. Cut them into bite-size pieces—about 1 to 1 1/2 inches—and you’re good to go! The potatoes are perfectly golden brown and cooked in only 20 minutes.

Recipe Variations

  • Seasoning Variations: Make your own blend of dried herbs or use and Italian seasoning blend, lemon pepper, or Cajun seasoning.
  • Loaded: Top the hot cooked potatoes with cooked crumbled bacon, sour cream, chives, and shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Parmesan: Sprinkle the potatoes with Parmesan cheese as soon as they come out of the air fryer.
