Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, this Air Fryer Baby Potatoes is SO easy to make! Have roasted potatoes in next to no time.
I love cooking potatoes in my air fryer. I’ve done air fryer baked potatoes and air fryer breakfast potatoes and now, I’m sharing how you can make air fryer roasted potatoes! Sometimes when I’m making small batched roasted baby potatoes, I just don’t want to put in the effort of preheating my oven and then roasting it just for a handful of potatoes so that’s where my air fryer comes in!
Why You’ll Love This Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes Recipe
- It’s so easy. You literally just coat it in some oil and seasoning and then into the air fryer it goes! Quick no fuss, no muss!
- It’s versatile! I coat mine in cajun seasoning but if you’re not a fan, feel free to use whatever seasoning you like. Sriracha lime is another favourite and so is Parmesan herb.
- It’s healthier. I find that roasting potatoes in an air fryer is healthier as there’s less oil needed to get the baby potatoes crispy in the air fryer.
- It’s faster. Due to how the air fryer is built, it takes way less time to roast potatoes in it than in the oven. Trust me, you’ll love roasted potatoes in air fryer.
