These Air Fryer Potatoes are incredible! They have a crisp exterior and a tender interior, just like fries, but without all the oil. They’re also easier and quicker to prepare than oven-roasted potatoes!
Air Fryer Potatoes Are:
- Better for you: Uses less oil than traditional frying.
- Crispy and tender: BEST texture!
- Simple to make: Easy steps and ingredients.
- Time saving: Quicker than oven roasting.
- Versatile: Pairs well with various dishes.
- Flavorful: The BEST seasoning blend.
Air Fryer Potatoes Ingredients
- Baby potatoes: Choose small, firm ones for even cooking. We like gold/yellow potatoes best!
- Olive oil: Important for crisping.
- Garlic and onion powder: Add flavor with no chopping required!
- Paprika: Sweet for mildness, smoked for depth.
- Fine sea salt: The smaller grains adhere better.
- Black pepper: We love Table grind pepper on these.
How To Make Air Fryer Potatoes
- Wash and dry potatoes: Clean and dry very thoroughly.
- Cut potatoes: Halve or quarter for uniform size.
- Season: Toss with oil and seasonings in a bowl.
- Arrange in basket: Place in a single layer, and cook in batches if needed.
- Air fry: 10 minutes, shake, then 8-10 more minutes.

Quick Tip
If the potatoes are wet, they won’t crisp up as nicely!

Air Fryer Potatoes
These Air Fryer Potatoes are perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside, giving you all the flavor of fries without the extra oil.
Equipment
- Air Fryer 6-quart
Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash potatoes thoroughly, dry them, and cut in half or quarters to ensure each piece is about 1-inch in size. Measure out 3 cups.
- Add the cut potatoes to a separate bowl (not in the air fryer basket). Add the remaining ingredients and toss until evenly coated.
- Preheat Air Fryer to 400°F. If your air fryer doesn’t have a preheat function, simply run it empty for 3 minutes at 400°F. Spread the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer in a single layer and avoid any overlap, cook in batches if necessary.
- Cook for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, shake the basket and spread the potatoes back into an even layer. Continue to cook until they are golden and tender, about 8–10 minutes longer.
- Potatoes are done when they are tender and have a slightly crisp or charred exterior. Air fryers can vary, so if your potatoes aren’t as crispy as you’d like, continue air frying them, checking every 1–2 minutes.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Resist the temptation to reduce the oil! It is key here. Less oil means the potatoes won't be as crispy.
Note 2: I like to add a garnish of fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, and chives or freshly grated Parmesan.
Storage: Store the potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. Warm in the air fryer at 350°F until heated and re-crisped.
