Ingredients:
- Potatoes (russet or Yukon gold are good choices)
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Optional: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or your favorite herbs and spices
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skins on adds extra texture.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks or wedges. Try to keep them roughly the same size for even cooking.
- Season the Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, toss the potato chunks with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings or herbs you like. Mix well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Preheat the Air Fryer Basket:
- Spray or brush the air fryer basket with a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking.
- Cooking in Batches:
- Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure proper air circulation and even cooking. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air Fry:
- Cook the potatoes at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time. Cooking times may vary depending on the size and type of your air fryer, so keep an eye on them.
- Check for Doneness:
- Test the potatoes for doneness by inserting a fork or knife into a potato piece. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, with a tender inside.
- Serve:
- Once done, remove the roasted potatoes from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. They are great on their own or can be served with your favorite dipping sauce.
