Wonderfully crispy and spicy, air fryer potatoes are the way to go. So much easier and quicker than roasting them in the oven and much healthier than frying.

Recipe Tips:
Yukon Gold, red potatoes, or russet potatoes can be used. Yukon Gold and red potatoes can be left unpeeled. Russet potatoes should be peeled.
Cut the potatoes into small pieces, about a 1/2-inch dice. That way they cook pretty fast and each potato piece can get coated in a lot of spice mixture relative to the amount of potato for tons of flavor.
I like to use Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning, but it is very salty and there is a limit to how much you can put on before the potatoes get too salty. If you want your potatoes extra spicy, try adding a little cayenne pepper or serving them with hot sauce.
Air fryer cooking times can vary a great deal. Pierce a potato with a fork before removing them from the air fryer to be sure they are soft.

Do not crowd the air fryer basket or the potatoes will steam and not get very crispy. Cook in 2 batches if you have a small air fryer basket.
I like a combination of olive oil and butter, but you can use all olive oil if you wish.
