The best part about roasting potatoes is that you don’t have to peel them. The skins crisp up really nice and add fantastic texture to the potatoes. Of course with each variety of potatoes, it will vary in cook time.
To know your potatoes are done they will be fork tender when you poke at them. Then serve warm and enjoy.
How Long To Air Fry Roasted Potatoes
For me, I find that a higher temperature is key. It helps to crisp up the skins of the potatoes while leaving the inside nice and fluffy and tender. I went for a higher temp but if you want you are more than welcome to do 375 or even 350 and adjust the cooking time.
