Air Fryer Crispy Potatoes - After Air Fryer Potato Wedges, and Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes, I was curious about these Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes. I was thinking about making this recipe for a long time. But, somehow, I always choose a recipe that is "Not so easy".
It's really strange. I mean, I have just an hour to cook and still I think about making recipes that are long, require many ingredients, and are time-consuming. I guess it is this mindset - that things that take time, taste better.
But, when it comes to these Air Fryer Crispy Potatoes, these old sayings and traditional thoughts fly out of the window!
Air Fryer Crispy Potatoes
So, just like every other day, today morning I woke up bubbling with energy thinking about giving a "picture-perfect start" to my day! But, as the day progresses and you've already crossed the first hour of your day, reality creeps in. You start wondering how much is left to do and how little time is left.
When I began with my day, I was thinking about making some tacos. I thought, let me make some Cauliflower tacos. Actually, I was craving Cauliflower Tinga Tacos. But, then I realized I don't have tortillas at home. (funny background music!) So, I won't be able to make tacos.
So, I looked around and was wondering to make a dessert-(how we choose time-consuming, and lengthy recipes). That's when I thought, let me make my Crispy Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes.
I looked at the clock and it was already afternoon. I reprimanded myself mentally for taking so long to decide and went on to make this easy Air Fryer Recipe.

- Baby Potatoes: I prefer Baby Potatoes for this recipe since they are less in calories and absolutely fat-free.
- Olive Oil: A good quality Olive Oil is a MUST to make the best Air Fryer Crispy Potatoes.
- Garlic Powder: Just to add that Garlicky Kick to our potatoes I prefer some Garlic Powder.
- Cajun Seasoning: Now adding Cajun Seasoning is totally OPTIONAL. You can skip this if you want.
- Salt & Pepper: Finally the seasoning without which everything is incomplete.
