roast potatoes in my air fryer

Roast potatoes in the air fryer are super crispy, quick, and totally addictive. Here’s a simple method to get them golden and crunchy every time:

🔥 Air Fryer Roast Potatoes Recipe

🕒 Time: 25–30 mins
🍽 Serves: 2–4

🥔 Ingredients:

• 500g (1 lb) potatoes (Yukon Gold, Maris Piper, or Russet are great)

• 1–2 tbsp olive oil

• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)

• ½ tsp paprika (optional, for colour)

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)

🔪 Prep:

1. Peel (or don’t!) and cut the potatoes into even chunks — about 1.5-inch cubes.

2. Parboil (optional but worth it): Boil in salted water for 7–10 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain and let steam dry.

3. Rough up the edges: Shake the potatoes in the pan to fluff the surface (this = extra crisp).

4. Toss in a bowl with oil, salt, pepper, and any spices/herbs.

🍟 Air Fry:

1. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C / 400°F (if yours needs it).

2. Place potatoes in the basket in a single layer — don’t overcrowd.

3. Cook for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway through.

4. For extra crispy edges, air fry another 5 mins.

🔧 Tips for Crispy Perfection:

• Don’t skip parboiling if you want that classic roastie texture.

• Use high-starch potatoes like Russet for the crispiest result.

• A tiny sprinkle of baking soda in the boiling water can help break down the exterior for more crunch.

• Add garlic or rosemary after cooking if you don’t want them to burn.
