Air fryer roasted potatoes are easy to make and so crispy. The potatoes are perfectly roasted on the outside, while fluffy on the inside. Serve the air fried potatoes alongside a variety of dishes for an easy meal.

Is there anything better than crispy roasted potatoes? I used to make them in the oven, but then I got an air fryer.

And now instead of constantly watching them in the oven, wondering when they will be done, I know they will be crispy perfection in my air fryer in only 20 minutes.

They make for a delicious side dish. And I can't believe I'm going to say this... but... I think the air fried potatoes are even better than french fries. My husband agrees. My kids don't agree (yet), but we're working on it. They'll come around soon.

Ingredients

  • Yellow potatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Salt

How to make air fried roasted potatoes

Preheat air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F.

To a large bowl add the olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir to combine.

Recipe tips

  • All air fryers cook differently. Pierce the diced potatoes with a fork before removing from the air fryer to make sure they are cooked through in the center.
  • Cook time may depend on the size you cut your potatoes. If you cut larger than 1 inch cubes, you may need to increase the cook time.

What type of potatoes to use

Yukon gold potatoes work best for this. If using red potatoes, you may need to cook longer, as red potatoes typically need a slightly longer cooking time.

How to customize

The roasted potatoes can be customized in so many ways. While I love the classic version of these, you can add so many different seasonings and spices.

Some of my favorites are paprika or smoked paprika, harissa powder, or curry powder. You can also add a variety of dried herbs like tarragon, thyme, Italian seasonings, or dried parsley.

What to serve with the potatoes

You can serve the diced potatoes with a sauce or condiment like this bang bang sauce, chipotle mayo, calabrian mayo, or honey mustard bbq sauce.

The roasted potatoes are delicious served with air fryer main dishes like air fryer turkey meatballs, air fryer pork chop bites, air fryer salmon, or a whole air fried chicken. They are also tasty with a sandwich like an air fryer tuna melt.
