Tips

  • Soaking the potatoes in water for 20 minutes after cutting can help draw out extra starch, resulting in crispier potatoes.
  • These potatoes can also be served as a main dish by adding toppings like sour cream, bacon bits, and cheese for a loaded baked potato twist.
  • Remember to toss and adjust the potatoes halfway through the cooking process to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • This recipe is suitable for 4-quart or larger air fryers. If you use a smaller air fryer, cook the potatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • If your air fryer doesn’t reach 400 degrees Fahrenheit, use the closest setting available and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Feel free to customize the seasoning to match your preferences or complement the main course you’re serving.

With these simple steps and helpful tips, you’ll have perfectly crispy and flavorful roasted potatoes ready to enjoy in no time!
