Easy roasted air fryer potatoes are crispy and golden on the outside and tender inside. They’re perfect as a side dish or a snack.

This roasted potato recipe is easy to make and a great side dish that works well on a busy weeknight or holidays like Christmas Day or Thanksgiving.

I used my Instant Vortex Plus 6 Quart Air Fryer for this recipe. I love this because you can get the food in a single layer all at once, and dinner is ready in 30 minutes or less. Any air fryer brand like Cosori 5.8QT, Cuisinart Air Fryer Oven, Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Duo Crisp works here.

Ingredients for Roasted Potatoes Recipe

You will only need a few basic ingredients to make this crispy air fryer potato recipe.

  • Potatoes - I have used baby potatoes. Red potatoes, Yukon Golds, and russet potatoes are all great for roasting.
  • Extra-virgin olive oil - is ideal for roasting, adds richness, and helps to crisp up the potatoes in the air fryer. You may also use avocado or grapeseed oil.
  • Garlic - Freshly minced or ½ teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • Spices – red chili powder (or smoked paprika, cayenne), Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper gives this air fryer roasted baby potatoes a bold flavor.
  • Cheese - Use can add finely shredded parmesan cheese for the best texture and flavor before roasting. This is optional I did not add to this recipe.
  • Chopped Parsley/Cilantro - This is optional and is for garnish.

How to Make Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes

Firstly rinse and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. If using baby potatoes, then cut them in half. If they’re tiny baby potatoes, then poke them with your fork to allow steam to escape. In case if using larger potatoes, just cut them into 1-inch pieces.

Toss the baby potatoes with olive oil and seasonings like minced garlic (or garlic powder), Italian seasoning, red chili powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure that the potatoes are well coated in oil and seasonings. Use your hands to mix if needed.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C). Add the seasoned baby potatoes to the air fryer basket and spread them in a single layer (cook in batches if required).

Air fryer them at 400°F (204°C) for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown and tender. Shake the basket halfway through. Mine was cooked perfectly in 14 minutes.

The roasted potatoes are ready. Remove to a serving plate, garnish with freshly chopped parsley with a tasty dipping sauce on the side.

How to Roast Potatoes in the Oven

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly in a single layer.

Cook for about 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and tender. You may have to turn them once halfway through. Cooking time may vary based on your oven and the size of the potatoes.

Serving Suggestion

Serve your roasted potatoes alongside a plate of Fettuccini Alfredo or Creamy Tomato Pasta for a complete meal.

Pro-Tips & Notes for Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes

  • Pick potatoes that are similarly sized: This helps for even and faster cooking. If you can't find baby potatoes, then cut the regular potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
  • Work in batches. Make sure to spread the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each other. Cook in batches if needed.
  • Shake the basket halfway: It's important to shake the basket halfway through to allow the cauliflower florets to be cooked evenly.
  • Serve them right away: These crispy roasted potatoes get soft as they sit and cool.
  • No need to boil the potatoes before air frying.
  • Peeling potatoes is optional, hence clean and scrub potatoes before using.
  • If you are using starchy potatoes, soak them in water for 15-20 minutes before roasting to get rid of extra starch. Also, make sure to pat them dry with a kitchen towel, or else they won't roast crisp.
  • The exact cooking time will vary based on the air fryer being used.

Seasoning Variations

  • Cheese: Sprinkle freshly-grated grated Parmesan cheese after roasting.
  • Fresh Herbs: add a tablespoon of fresh, finely chopped parsley or cilantro.
  • Indian: Use a mix of ground cumin, red chili powder, garam masala, and chaat masala.
  • Cajun: Use a mix of cajun spices or cajun seasoning available in the stores.
  • Mexican: Use a mix of cumin, chili powder, garlic, and onion powder for a nice twist. You can also use taco seasoning or fajita seasoning.
  • Ranch: Use ranch seasoning and toss with the potatoes before roasting.
