Roast Potatoes using an Air Fryer:
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs (approximately 3 medium) potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for enhanced taste)
1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme (optional)
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
1. Preheat the air fryer: Set the temperature to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for 3-5 minutes.
2. Prepare the potatoes: Clean and cut the potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking. Dry them thoroughly with a paper towel.
3. Season the potatoes: In a mixing bowl, combine the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, rosemary, salt, and pepper, tossing until they are evenly coated.
4. Cook in the air fryer: Place the potatoes in a single layer within the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd for optimal crispiness.
5. Air fry: Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even browning. Adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of crispiness.
6. Serve: Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and serve immediately as a side dish or snack.
Tips:
For enhanced crispiness, soak the potato cubes in cold water for 15-20 minutes prior to cooking, then dry them thoroughly.
Consider adding grated Parmesan or fresh herbs after cooking for additional flavor.
