Best Ways to Enjoy It
Once your Crispy Air Fryer Roast Potatoes are ready, the serving options are endless. They make an excellent side for roasted meats, hearty stews, or even as a stand-alone snack paired with a garlic aioli or creamy dip. For a festive touch, sprinkle fresh parsley or chives on top before serving.
Storage and Reheating Tips
To keep your delicious roast potatoes fresh, store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you want to enjoy them beyond that, consider freezing them. Just make sure they cool completely before freezing. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to regain that crispy texture.
Helpful Cooking Tips
- When cutting the potatoes, aim for uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; it’s key for that crispy exterior.
- If you’re in a rush, try parboiling the potatoes for 5-7 minutes before air frying for extra fluffiness inside.
