If you’re looking for a delicious, crispy air fryer potatoes recipe, look no further than this air fryer roasted potatoes recipe! Air frying is a great way to cook potatoes because they come out nice and crispy. This recipe is simple and easy to follow, and it yields some of the best-crispy air fryer potatoes you’ve ever tasted!
Potatoes
For these crispy air fryer potatoes, I am using petite red and petite gold potatoes, also called fingerling potatoes. Any baby potatoes variety will work fine and they can be just one variety instead of two if you prefer. If you don’t want to use baby potatoes you can use larger ones like russet potatoes but I would recommend cutting them into quarters instead of halves.
Oil
In order to get a nice crispy exterior, it’s always a good idea to use oil. In this case, I am using olive oil because it gives a nice flavor that matches the seasoning in this roasted potatoes recipe. Some other good oils to try would be avocado oil or if you’re in a pinch you could use vegetable oil.
Seasoning
Keep it simple when it comes to seasoning. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and some Italian seasoning will give you a nice balance with plenty of flavors and well-seasoned potatoes. If you want to experiment more with seasoning some good options would be smoked paprika, onion powder, chili powder, and fresh parsley.

How Do You Get crispy air fryer Potatoes?
The key to getting crispy potatoes is to cook them at a high temperature. That’s why an air fryer is the perfect tool for this recipe. Air fryers cook food by circulating hot air around it, which cooks the food evenly and gives it a nice perfectly crispy exterior.
Should You Soak Potatoes In Water Before Roasting?
Soaking potatoes in water before you air fry them is a matter of personal preference. Some people find that it helps the potatoes to cook evenly and prevents them from drying out. Others find that it doesn’t make much of a difference. If you’re not sure whether or not to soak your potatoes, try it both ways and see what you prefer. We personally just wash and dry them and found them to work perfectly fine.
Do I Have To Use An Air Fryer?
If you don’t have an air fryer or want to cook these in the oven you are in luck. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and lay your potatoes out on a baking sheet evenly to avoid uneven cooking. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until done to your liking.
Why Are My Roated Potatoes Not Crispy?
There are a few things that can cause your crispy air fryer potatoes to be less than crispy. One is if you overcook them. Potatoes are done when they’re tender all the way through and have a nice, golden brown exterior. If you cook them for too long, they’ll start to dry out and won’t be as crispy. Another thing that can cause potatoes to be less than crispy is if you don’t use enough oil. Be sure to coat the potatoes well so that they’ll have a nice, crispy exterior after you air fry them.
