    • Perfectly roasted potatoes: crisp on the outside and soft and creamy inside.
    • Lots of fresh herbaceous flavour from fresh chimichurri sauce.

    🛒 Ingredients for Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes

    potatoes: Wondering what are the best potatoes for roasting? You have lots of choices. Many potato varieties make great roast potatoes.

    • Yellow potatoes and Yukon Gold are both good candidates for crispy potatoes.
    • They have a lower starch and higher sugar content than Russets, so they will develop a deep golden colour. Both creamy types have lots of flavour.
    • Russet potatoes also become crispy when roasted. They have a fluffier texture with a mild colour.
    • Red potatoes have a waxy texture that stays firm throughout cooking. They have an appealing red colour when roasted.

    🔁 Possible Variations

    No chimichurri sauce on hand? Toss with this 5-Minute Basil Cashew Pesto instead! Pesto potatoes are also absolutely delicious!

    No air fryer? No problem! Roast in a single layer on an oiled baking sheet in the oven at 400°F. for 20 to 30 minutes, turning once or twice during cooking time.

    👍🏼 Helpful Tips

    Cut the potatoes into uniform sizes. In this way, you'll avoid having some overcooked and some undercooked.

    Dry your potatoes first. After washing, drying and slicing the potatoes, pat them dry with a clean towel or a paper towel. You'll get the best crispy results with dry potatoes. Excess water leads to soggy spuds!

    There's no need to peel the potatoes if you're using those with thin skins, like Yukon Gold. You may want to peel older Russet potatoes.
