Perfecting Air Fryer Roast Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 4-5 medium-sized potatoes (such as Russet or Yukon Gold)
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon of paprika (optional)
• Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or parsley) for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Start by washing and peeling the potatoes, if desired, then cut them into bite-sized pieces. Ensuring uniformity in size will promote even cooking.
2. Place the potato pieces in a large bowl and drizzle the olive oil over them. Add the salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings, such as garlic powder and paprika.
3. Toss the potatoes in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
4. Preheat your air fryer to 375-400°F (190-200°C).
5. Once the air fryer is preheated, place the seasoned potato pieces in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches to prevent overcrowding.
6. Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for about 15-20 minutes, shaking or tossing them every 5-10 minutes to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them as cooking time may vary depending on the size and type of your air fryer.
7. The potatoes are ready when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside. You can check for doneness by poking a fork or knife into a potato piece to see if it’s soft inside.
8. Once done, remove the air-fried potatoes from the basket and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or parsley if desired.
9. Serve your air fryer roast potatoes hot as a delightful side dish or pair them with your favorite dipping sauce for a tasty snack.
