- Wash and peel the potatoes, if desired, then cut them into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
- Place the potato pieces in a large bowl and drizzle olive oil over them. Add salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings like garlic powder and paprika.
- Toss the potatoes in the bowl until evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375-400°F (190-200°C).
- Once preheated, place the seasoned potato pieces in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches to prevent overcrowding.
- Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for 15-20 minutes, shaking or tossing them every 5-10 minutes for even cooking. Cooking time may vary based on your air fryer’s size and type, so monitor closely.
- The potatoes are done when golden brown and crispy outside and tender inside. Test for doneness by poking a fork or knife into a potato piece to check its softness.
- Remove the air-fried potatoes from the basket and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or parsley if desired.
- Serve hot as a side dish or with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy your air fryer roast potatoes!
