Ingredients

To make these flavorful roasted red potatoes in the air fryer, you will need only three ingredients - red-skin baby potatoes, olive oil, and a potato seasoning mix.

I love using the Concord Roasted Potato Original Seasoning Mix to make these roasted herb potatoes. Cajun seasoning works well too or you can use garlic powder, Italian herbs, and salt to make them from scratch.

Instructions

Red skin potatoes are easy to make in the air fryer. First rinse and pat dry the baby potatoes into halves or quarters for larger red skin potatoes. Optionally soak them in water for 10 minutes so that they turn out more crispy.

In a mixing bowl, add the seasoning mix, olive oil, and mix the cut potatoes. For best results leave the mixture for 15-20 minutes for marination before roasting it in the air fryer.

Preheat the air fryer to 390°F for 2-3 minutes. Once the air fryer is preheated, transfer the seasoned potatoes into the air fryer basket. Air fry the baby potatoes for 12-15 minutes at 390°F.

Check after 7-8 minutes and shake the basket. This allows the potatoes to cook evenly.

Cook for the remaining time and then check that the potatoes are well done and fork-tender by inserting a fork or a toothpick. It took me a total of 12 minutes for the potatoes to be well-roasted. They will be crispy on the outside and soft inside.

Transfer the roasted potatoes into a serving bowl immediately to avoid overcooking. If you like, you can sprinkle some black pepper while serving.

Substitutions

Potatoes - instead of red baby potatoes, you can use regular red-skin potatoes and cut them into quarters. Other kinds of potatoes like Yukon gold or russet potatoes can be used as well. They might take a few more minutes to cook depending on the size you cut them into.

Seasoning - if you don't have the seasoning mix then you can use some garlic powder, sea salt, and Italian herbs. See notes in the recipe card for more details.

Depending on your air fryer and the number of baby potatoes you want to roast, you may have to air fry them in multiple batches.

These roasted baby potatoes are absolutely delicious and best when served hot out of the air fryer. However, sometimes you may have leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Refrigerated roasted baby potatoes can be reheated in the air fryer at 350°F for 1-2 minutes.
