Air fryer red potatoes go with just about anything! These air fried potatoes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and they cook in much less time than in the oven. They make a great side dish for dinner or you can serve them as breakfast potatoes!
Pat the potatoes dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel until they're completely dry. This is an important step.
Mix the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika in a small bowl. Alternatively, you can use 1 tablespoon of my roasting seasoning.
Coat the potatoes with oil. Add the spice mix and coat evenly until every surface is covered.
Air Fryer Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degrees C).
Coat the air fryer basket with oil. You can use a paper towel soaked in oil or an oil sprayer. Don't use canned aerosol oil, as that can harm the coating of the air fryer basket.
Transfer the potatoes to the basket and make sure they're evenly spread out. Do not overcrowd.
Air fry for 16 to 18 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Shake the basket or use a spatula to turn the potatoes once or twice during cooking process.
When the cooking time is up, check to make sure the potatoes are ready. If needed, toss the potatoes again and air fry for another 2 minutes.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish.
Oven Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat the foil with oil.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and golden in color.
