Ingredients
- 1000 grams potatoes
- ¾ teaspoon salt - to parboil the potatoes (or more, to taste)
- ¼ litre water - to parboil the potatoes
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (or more, to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon salt (to air fry)
- a few sprigs rosemary
Instructions
- Wash, scrub, peel, and halve the potatoes. Quarter any large ones. Next, clean the peeled potatoes in cold water to get rid of excess starch. Remove the leaves of the rosemary from the stem, chop, and set aside.
- Parboil the potatoes - see notes below.
- Using a colander, drain and allow the potatoes to sit for 3 minutes. Shake the colander for a few seconds, to help chuff the potatoes, which also helps keep them crispy.
- Preheat your air fryer to 200°C/400°F.
- Tip the potatoes into a large bowl, top with olive oil, salt, pepper and rosemary, then toss.
- Spray your air fryer basket or line it with air fryer parchment paper, for easier cleanup.
- Next, carefully transfer the potatoes to your air fryer basket and roast for 20-25 minutes at 200°C/400°F until cooked through, and crispy edges form. Make sure to flip the potatoes midway through.
- Serve as a side dish, alongside your favorite dishes.

Notes
Preheating - Preheating the air fryer results in a hotter air fryer which helps crispen up the edges.
