When you want crispy roasted potatoes but don't want to wait for your oven to preheat, this air fryer potatoes recipe is for you. I've tested it for weeks, so you'll get delicious results on your first try! The seasoning is made with simple pantry ingredients, but it tastes like something you'd get at a fancy restaurant. They are the perfect side dish, cooking in under 30 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer to 350ºF, then cut the potatoes into 1- or 2-inch chunks, trying to keep them similarly sized so that they will cook evenly.
In a large bowl, toss the potato chunks with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. (You can use only olive oil and salt if you prefer, but this seasoning combination is really good!)
Arrange the seasoned potatoes into a single layer in your air fryer basket, making sure that the potatoes aren't touching as much as possible. Cook for 15 minutes at 350ºF.
When the timer goes off, remove any smaller pieces that might be done, then shake the basket, and return the remaining potatoes to cook for another 5 minutes. The potatoes are done with they are golden on the outside and tender on the inside. They should be easily pierced with a fork.
Serve warm! Leftover potatoes can be reheated in your air fryer at 350ºF for 4 to 5 minutes.
