Air Fryer Roast Potatoes

How to Roast Potatoes in your air fryer in only 20 minutes, amazing recipe, easy step by step instructions, from start to finish.

Ingredients

Method

  • 650g / 1½lb Potatoes
  • 30mls / 2tbls Cooking Oil (any neutral oil)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs of your choice
  • Only use potatoes that are suitable for roasting, I recommend, for the UK, Maris Piper or King Edwards, for the USA, Yukon Gold, are a good choice.
  • Wash, peel and chop your potatoes into 3cm / 1¼in pieces.
  • Rinse the potatoes in cold water to remove any starch, pat them dry on a towel.
  • Get them into a clean dry bowl, add half the oil from the ingredient list ( I use Sunflower oil in the video) and a good pinch of sea salt.
  • Using your hands, toss them until they are completely coated with the oil, set them aside for now.
  • Pre-heat your air fryer to 200°C / 390°F run for 3 minutes.
  • Once preheated, add the potatoes to the basket, set the temperature to 200°C / 390°F set the to 20 minutes.
  • After 5 minutes, give the potatoes a good shake, get the back into the air fryer.
  • After 10 minutes get the out again, give them a good shake once more and add the other half of the oil, now reduce the air fryer temperature to 180°C / 355° get them back in for the remaining 10 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, give them a final shake, get them back in for the last five minutes.
  • The shaking every 5 minutes ensures even cooking and colour, plus shaking roughens up the edges of the potatoes making for a crispier roastie.
  • Finally tip them into a kitchen paper lined bowl, to remove any excess oil.
  • Remove the paper, add your chosen fresh herbs, (Rosemary, Thyme or parsley are good choices) salt, and black pepper.
  • Serve piping hot and crispy.
  • Enjoy.
