Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces about 1/2” - 3/4” thick, skin-on, scrubbed

Seasonings and Garnish

  • 1 ½ Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt (or to taste)
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Cut the Yukon gold potatoes into bite-sized pieces about 1/2” to 3/4” thick, leaving the skin on. Place the cut potatoes in a medium mixing bowl to prepare for seasoning.
  2. Season the Potatoes: Drizzle the potatoes with extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with fine sea salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
  3. Air Fry the Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Set your air fryer to 400˚F and cook for 18-20 minutes, flipping and tossing the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crispness.
  4. Check for Doneness and Garnish: The potatoes are done when they are golden brown on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove them from the air fryer, sprinkle with finely chopped parsley if using, and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking.
  • If you prefer crispier potatoes, air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, checking frequently to prevent burning.
  • Use skin-on potatoes for added texture and nutrients.
  • Fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme can be substituted or added along with Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; roast in batches if necessary to keep potatoes crispy.
