Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes Choose Yukon Gold for a buttery interior or Russet for fluffier texture.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil Helps with browning and crisping.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper Freshly ground is best.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder To season the potatoes evenly.
  • 1 teaspoon Rosemary or thyme (optional) Use for additional flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and cut the potatoes into wedges or cubes, keeping the pieces similar in size.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary or thyme if using.
  4. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Cooking
  1. Air fry the potatoes for 30-40 minutes, turning halfway through until they are golden and crispy.
  2. Serve hot, as they are best when fresh and crispy.

Notes

To improve crispiness, avoid overcrowding the basket and turn the potatoes halfway through cooking. For storage, let leftovers cool and refrigerate in a covered container. Reheat in the air fryer for best results.
