Ingredient Selection Tip

When it comes to choosing potatoes for this recipe, I prefer red potatoes with the skins still on, but feel free to use your favorite.

Gold and Russet potatoes would also be delicious and crisp up nicely in the air fryer.

This is one of those recipes where I do recommend you preheat your air fryer. In all my recipe testing, I found it helps the diced potatoes to start cooking immediately, resulting in that perfect crispy exterior.

Pro Tips/Recipe Notes

  • If you don’t already have an air fryer, you can find an oven-roasted version in this cast iron potatoes recipe or roasted garlic potatoes.
  • If you’d like the potatoes to cook even faster, cut the pieces small, almost finely diced. Check after 10 minutes of cooking.
  • If you increase the amount of oil used, drain potatoes on a plate lined with paper towels for 2-3 minutes.
  • If you’d like to use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder, add it at the halfway cooking point to avoid it burning.

  1. These were delicious! Made as per the recipe. I used a 1 1/2 lb bag of small gold potatoes, quartered or halved depending upon the size and it only cooked about 20 minutes total. Only problem with this recipe is that it is almost impossible to stop snacking on them!5 stars

  2. My air fryer is rather small.  Can you pile all the potatoes on top of each other or do they need to be done in a single layer?

  3. I just cut my large baker potatoes in quarters lengthwise, used the suggested seasonings and Air fried @ 400 degrees for 20 minutes, rearranged and cooked for another 15 minutes. Served with Ranch-style dressing. Hubby loved ’em!5 stars

    1. Hi Shelley, the herbs/seasonings are the same as what goes into ranch dressing. If you were to buy a packet of powdered ranch mix at the store, or make your own at home it would have the same components. Hope that clarifies. 🙂

  4. These potatoes were delicious! I followed the recipe exactly. Some of my less used herbs like tarragon, were a little aged. Next time I’ll increase them. My husband loved them! I cooked less time based on the size of my potatoes. I advise checking during cooking to avoid burning.5 stars

  5. I was already eyeing this recipe before getting an airfryer, and now I finally have one I put it to the test. It passed with flying crispyness! It’s so good, it’s on the menu again this evening (tryout was Saturday).

    This recipe set the bar for future recipes I’m trying out.5 stars

  6. These are so good AND smell so good while cooking. I had all the ingredients except tarragon. We used the potatoes as a base for a nacho with homemade chili, a little cheddar and guac. So, so good! 5 stars

  7. Super easy and we were working with cheap taters and didn’t even have half the spices but they came out amazing!!!5 stars
