I’m here to normalize carbs. And if I need to lure you back to the carby side of life with a plate of perfectly roasted crispy air fryer diced potatoes, then I’ll do it!
Ready in 30 minutes thanks to the magic of the air fryer, they’re perfect, crispy, and like heaven at the end of the fork.
This might be a Pacific Northwest thing, but roasted potatoes paired with homemade tartar sauce may just change your life.
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.

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!
So glad you enjoyed them, Bobby! And yes, potatoes are the best kinds of snacks.
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?
I would recommend you don’t overlap them too much. It will lead to very unevenly cooked potatoes.
Never peel the potato on a recipe like this – that’s where all the good dirt is! haha
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!
So glad it was a hit with you and the hubby! 🙂
I made this yesterday it was good
Why r they called Ranch potatoes when there’s nothing ranch in the recipe?
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. 🙂
Loved it. My potatoes looked the same. Tasted delicious
Yahoo! So glad you enjoyed it, Tracey. 🙂
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.
So glad you enjoyed them Carol! If you need to use up some more of that tarragon, this soup and this one-pan dinner both call for it.
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.
So glad you enjoyed it, and welcome to the air fryer cult/club. 🙂
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
Delicious and turned out perfectly! We all loved them and will be using this recipe regularly. Thank you! ????
Yay, so glad you enjoyed them, Amanda!
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!
Cathy, using these as the base of nachos is PURE GENIUS! I love this idea and am totally stealing it.
Super easy and we were working with cheap taters and didn’t even have half the spices but they came out amazing!!!
So glad you liked them! 🙂
THEY ARE ALL GONE! What am I supposed to eat for leftovers in the morning?!?
Haha, make another batch??
