STEP BY STEP

Make it

  1. Prepare

    Wash and dry potatoes; cut into even ½-inch pieces. Preheat air fryer to 380°F.

  2. Season

    Toss potatoes with oil and all seasonings.

  3. Cook

    Spread in one layer, using batches if needed. Air-fry 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway.

  4. Check

    A fork should slide into the center easily. Continue briefly if needed, then serve hot.

Good to know

  • A crowded basket steams potatoes instead of crisping them.
  • Air-fryer power varies; check tenderness as well as browning.
