Air-fried foods are quick and flavorful. I've been using my air fryer for years and am making more recipes using that appliance. A few other sides include this air-fried cabbage. Who knew cabbage could be such a tasty vegetable? The same with brussels sprouts. Steamed, I really didn't like them. But when air fried, these air fryer brussel sprouts take on a whole new delicious flavor!

I use small potatoes then cut them even smaller so they cook fast and evenly. I buy the 3 pound bag and use half for this recipe.
I use regular olive oil, not extra virgin when cooking at high temperatures. Vegetable oil also works.
Season with minced fresh rosemary or dried if you don't have fresh on hand.
Course salt is perfect for that salty flavor roasted potatoes demand. If using fine salt, always use a little less.
Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 400°F. It only takes about 2 - 3 minutes. I spray the air fryer basket with no stick spray.
Step 1
Cut potatoes into small evenly sized pieces. Roughly an inch big.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine potatoes, oil, minced rosemary, and course salt.

Step 3
Add potatoes to the air fry tray, ensuring not to crowd them. Mix every 5 minutes to ensure even roasting. Piece the potatoes with a fork to see if the center is soft to know they are done.
Optional
Taste potatoes and then add a light sprinkle of salt and or rosemary to taste.

Storing and Leftovers
Place in a closed container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
I often use any leftover roasted potatoes the next day with breakfast. They are great with scrambled eggs!
