Method

Preparation

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly or peel them before cutting into bite-sized chunks or wedges.
Toss the potato chunks in a bowl with olive oil or cooking spray, then season generously with salt, pepper, and any additional spices.
Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

Cooking

Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the potatoes every 5-7 minutes.

Serving

Serve the crispy roast potatoes alongside grilled meats, salads, or as desired. Garnish with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme, if desired.

Notes

If you have leftovers, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days, reheating in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to regain crispy texture. Consider experimenting with various herbs or spices to customize flavors.
