    Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes

    Normally potatoes are mild, crowd-pleasing root vegetables. When you chop up tender red potatoes and toss them in rosemary and olive oil, you will make a robust side dish that everyone eats up. It's really easy to get that fantastically crispy texture people love without making a greasy mess on the stove. The air fryer makes these garlic rosemary potatoes not only effortless but a crowd-pleasing and delicious favorite.

    Air fryer fried potatoes are one of the best ways to use your air fryer. I love using mine to make crispy fried recipes without the mess. Anything from dinners of Air fryer fish sticks, and coconut shrimp, to sides like onion rings and garlic bread.

    Healthy Air Fryer Potatoes

    Potatoes have many health benefits and are an important part of a healthy, balanced diet. Here are some of them:

    • They can aid in decreasing high blood pressure and cholesterol levels as well as speeding up the healing process of bruises.
    • Their high concentration of B6 helps generate cellular renewal and boosts adrenalin which, in turn, helps to relieve stress.
    • The high copper and iron content helps boost brain activity and improve memory.
    • Aids with digestion and alleviates hunger for longer thus helping with food intake.
    • Diminishes inflammation, reduces the chance of kidney stones, and helps decrease the risk of certain cancers.

    What Goes With Rosemary Potatoes

    How To Store and Reheat

    To Store: Allow the potatoes to cool completely. Place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    To Freeze: Place the potatoes on a baking sheet with space between them. Place the baking sheet in the freezer. Once the potatoes are frozen, transfer them to a plastic freezer bag or freezer-safe airtight container. Thaw the potatoes in the fridge overnight.

    To Reheat: Air-fry the potatoes at 400°F for about 8 minutes.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do you have to boil potatoes before air frying them?

    You do not have to boil potatoes before cooking them in an air fryer. They will crisp up perfectly when you add them to the air fryer when they are raw.

    Do you have to soak potatoes before roasting?

    It depends on the potatoes. Baking potatoes like russet potatoes have more starch and should be soaked. Boiling potatoes like red potatoes do not need soaking.

    Can you put rosemary in an air fryer?

    Yes, both fresh and dried rosemary is great for seasoning air-fried food. Fresh rosemary will give the potatoes a more vibrant aroma, which is why I prefer to use fresh herbs.

      We've been using the air fryer more for healthier side dishes, but I was getting a bit tired of the same ole potatoes. These rosemary potatoes were so much more flavorful - will make again for sure!
