Chef notes
Air fryer potatoes are a way to make delicious roasted potatoes without taking up precious space in the oven. Bookmark this recipe now and reference it come the holidays when you consider adding a double oven in your kitchen. The air fryer produces crispy, tender spuds in just 20 minutes. I like to use yellow gold potatoes because they crisp up beautifully but stay remarkably creamy inside. A basic combination of olive oil, salt and black pepper are mainstays in this recipe, but for even more flavor I added dried oregano, garlic powder and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Air fryer potatoes are a no-fuss, no-brainer side dish that easily fills your plate, whether you’re serving salmon filets on a Wednesday or a 20-pound roast turkey on Thanksgiving. Looking for even more air fryer recipes beyond this simple side? Try these lemony chicken thighs or three-ingredient pork chops for the main course, both of which can be cooked in the fan-favorite appliance.
Swap Option: The combination of oregano, garlic powder and Parmesan give these air fryer potatoes a slight Italian flair but feel free to add paprika, cumin and cayenne pepper for a fiery kick.
