Notes
- Add any seasoning of choice. You can also add your fresh herbs for a more intense flavor.
- Preheating not compulsory, but this reduces the time by 2 - 3 minutes or so. But if your air fryer brand says preheating is not necessary for your air fryer, then ignore this step.
- Don't overload the basket. It cooks more uniformly if arranged in a single layer.
- If you are making in batches, reduce the time by 2 minutes from the 2nd batch onwards as it tends to cook a little faster after the 1st batch.
- Every air fryer is different. So a difference in time is possible by 2 - 4 minutes. But the standard time is 10 - 14 minutes for roasted potatoes.
- For baby potatoes, you don't need to take off the skin. Also for yukon gold and white or red potatoes. If you are using russet which has thicker skin you may like to take them out or keep it for a crispy skin with soft potatoes.
