How to roast potatoes in the air fryer?
- Start by peeling and chopping the potatoes. I used Russet potatoes, but yellow or even red potatoes can be used as well.
- Set your air fryer to 390 degrees F and let preheat for 4 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss chopped potatoes with one tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Place in one layer in your air fryer.
- Place basket in the air fryer and roast potatoes for 15 minutes, stopping halfway to shake them.
Air fryer vs. oven
When making roasted potatoes in the air fryer, you toss them with just one tablespoon of olive oil and roast. They won't have crispy exterior like oven-roasted potatoes for that reason. But they will cook in half the time and make for a healthy side dish.
Are these potatoes healthy?
Considering the fact, that you use only 1 tablespoon of olive oil and not ¼ cup like you would for the oven-roasted version, I would say the air fryer potatoes are healthier. You get the benefits of the vegetable without the fat. Comparing to deep fat frying, the air fryer potatoes are definitely healthy.

David says
Our air fryer has a roast button and an air fry button. Does it matter which one I use for this recipe. My suspicion is there might not be much difference.
