I used a little bit of parmesan and thyme to season these guys, but the options are truly endless:
Garlic and herb – as much garlic powder as you can handle plus 2 tablespoons freshly chopped herbs of choice: dill, parsley, scallions, thyme, basil
Everything bagel – make it rain everything bagel spice
Sour cream and onion – mix together 1 tsp each buttermilk powder, onion powder, garlic powder, season to taste and add some scallions
Seaweed and salt – a little crushed seaweed adds a huge amount of umami! Crush up a toasted seaweed snack pack and sprinkle on with salt, to taste.
Five spice – a little take on the flavors of Taiwanese fried chicken: mix together 1/2 tsp each of salt, white pepper, black pepper, five spice, and garlic powder, then add it to the potatoes to taste
Your favorite spice mix – just shake on your favorite spice mix to taste
How to make crispy air fryer potatoes
Wash, dry, and prep your potatoes. Give your spuds a good wash, then pat them dry, throughly. Cut them into wedges.
Oil and season. Give the wedges a little bit of oil to promote crispness, then season with salt and pepper. You can add extra spices too, like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or other spices.
Air fry. Pop the potatoes, in a single layer into the air fryer, and fry, flipping once.
Done. Eat all the crispy potatoes you want!
Which potatoes for crispy air fryer potatoes?
I like to use russets or Yukon golds because I think they have the best texture for roasted crispy potatoes: creamy with just enough starchiness.
Why air fryer potatoes?
If you love potatoes, air fryer potatoes are for you! You don’t have to turn on the oven and the result is 100% the same! The air that circulates around in an air fryer makes the outsides crispy all over and the insides perfectly soft. Plus they’re healthier than deep fried wedges or roasties because you hardly use any oil.
