Air Fryer Fried Potatoes Ingredients

Ingredients needed to make crispy air fryer potatoes.
  • Russet potatoes — washed very well, cut into 1″ cubes for quick cooking.
  • Olive oil
  • Seasoning: Tuscan garlic seasoning, paprika, salt and pepper, and crushed rosemary

How To Air Fry Potatoes

  • Preheat: preheat the air fryer to 380F.
How to cut up potatoes to be cooked.
  • Prepare the potatoes: Wash the potatoes and cube them. Rinse with cold water and pat them dry. Transfer them to a bowl.
  • Seasoning cut up potatoes before air frying.
  • Seasoned potatoes before air frying.
  • Season: Add the oil, spices and mix to coat well.
  • Potatoes in an air fryer basket before cooking.
  • Potatoes inside of an air fryer basket.
  • Air fry the potatoes: Transfer the potatoes to the air fryer without overcrowding. Air fry in two batches if needed. Air fry for 25-30 minutes, until crispy and tender. Shake the basket half way through.
  • Enjoy: Transfer the potatoes to a dish and serve.

Air Fryer Russet Potatoes Variations

  • Make this spicy: add in some cayenne powder or red chili flakes to your seasoning to give your air fryer potatoes a spicier kick.
  • Make this herby: add in additional dried herbs of your choice to the seasoning.
  • Make this garlicky: add in some fresh minced garlic or garlic powder.
  • Potatoes: swap russet potatoes for red potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes (small ones work).
  • Oven baked potatoes: If you don’t have an air fryer, preheat your oven to 400 F, bake for 30-40 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Toss at least once half way through.

Tips To Air Fry Potatoes

  • If using a parchment paper in your air fryer basket, only place it in after you preheat the air fryer. This prevents the parchment paper from burning.
  • Be sure to cut potatoes into even sizes, preferably 1-inch pieces to ensure even cooking. The larger the potatoes, the more time they would need. If you’d like larger potatoes, increase the cooking time and check for doneness by poking a toothpick through the potato. It should go in easily if cooked through.
  • Garnish with fresh rosemary stems to present it better if you have guests over.
  • If working with a smaller air fryer and have to do several batches, preheat your oven and then turn it off. Place the finished batches of potatoes in the warm oven while you cook the other batch to keep them warm.
  • Be sure to avoid overcrowding your potatoes. When overcrowded, your potatoes will end up steaming instead of roasting in the air fryer.
  • Allow the air fryer to preheat before adding potatoes to cook. This helps make your air fryer potatoes extra crispy.
  • Shake the basket of potatoes halfway through for an even cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to peel my potatoes?

That’s up to you! As long as you give your potatoes a good scrub, you can skip peeling your potatoes before air frying them. Just be sure to make sure the potatoes are dried before cooking them as it could cause them to steam in the air fryer if they have water on them.

Refrigerate leftover air fryer potatoes in airtight containers for 3 to 5 days.

Reheat the potato by cooking it in the air fryer again at 350 until heated through or use a microwave.

Which potatoes are best for the air fryer?

I recommend using russet potatoes, Yukon gold, red potatoes or any kind of baby potatoes.

Why are my air fryer potatoes not crispy?

You may have left some moisture on the potatoes before air frying. Be sure to dry the potatoes really well before adding oil and seasoning.

    This recipe turned out amazing 😋 I decided to add a lil smoked paprika to it as well instead of all regular paprika.I also used golden potatoes instead of russets and used avocado oil instead of extra virgin Olive oil. I also ground up the seasonings all together before sprinkling on oiled up potatoes. ❤️
