We are just addicted to these crispy air fryer roasted potatoes. Whether you make them for your dinner meal or as a holiday side, you will definitely love them!
Simple Ingredients
- Potatoes: This recipe will work with any kind of potatoes. I have used the russet potatoes but you can use red, yellow, and baby potatoes. Scrub properly and cut them equally.
- Olive Oil: I recommend using olive oil, though this recipe calls for a little oil so any variation will work. If you do not like olive oil, you can also use sunflower, peanut, avocado oil and it will also taste great!!
- Seasoning: all you need is freshly minced garlic or garlic powder, salt, pepper, & chili seasoning (optional)
- Fresh garlic: Minced about 4-6 cloves. You may substitute this with garlic powder, but you will get the garlicky punch from minced garlic.
- Optional: You may add some vinaigrette to the freshly air fried potatoes, it gives a bright and rich flavor to it.
Or
You may also add some fajita seasoning, chopped parsley, or chives to the melted butter and drizzle them over the air fried roasted potatoes, Yum!!!!
How to make Air fryer Crispy Potatoes
- Cut and toss the potatoes wedges, oil, and seasoning: Take a deep bowl, combine the potatoes wedges with all the ingredients (do not add melted butter & chives). Toss or combine well to coat.
- Air frying the potatoes: place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, make sure to not overlap the potatoes. If you are planning to cook a large batch of air fryer potatoes then cook it in small batches.
Make sure to toss or shake the air fryer basket halfway through. - Serve warm: you can make a tangy vinaigrette or drizzle some herb butter (you may add herbs as per your choice). Squeeze some lemon over the roasted potatoes and enjoy it warm!
The secret to making Potato Wedges extra crispy
- Reheat the air fryer: Make sure to preheat the air fryer before adding the potatoes. Pre-heating helps to cook the outer surface faster and makes the potatoes super crispy.
- Pat dry the potatoes: Do not forget to pat the washed potatoes before adding seasoning to them, as the oil will coat better to the dry potatoes.
- Make it Vegan: If you want to make vegan air fryer potatoes, then simply omit the butter, as this dish is already packed with rich and fresh flavors!
- Reheat the leftover potatoes: You can reheat the leftover air-fried potatoes just by air frying them for 5 -10 minutes (depending upon the air fryer brand).
