Ingredients

Instructions
Preparation
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Optionally, peel the potatoes.
- Cut them into evenly sized cubes or wedges, aiming for around 1-inch pieces.
- Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch for a crispier exterior.
- Drain and pat them dry.
Cooking
- Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook at 380°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Check for doneness by piercing with a fork; they should be tender inside and crispy outside. Adjust the cooking time if necessary.
- Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
If you have leftovers, let the roast potatoes cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 380°F (190°C) for 5-8 minutes to restore their crispiness. Make sure to cut your potatoes into even pieces to ensure they cook evenly. Soaking the potatoes in water is essential for achieving a crispy texture. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor to your liking.
