The cooking time for potatoes in an air fryer depends on the type and cut of the potatoes:
- For diced or quartered baby potatoes: Cook at 400°F for about 18-20 minutes, tossing or flipping halfway through, until tender and crispy
. Some recipes suggest 20-25 minutes for crispy edges
- For whole baked potatoes (russet or similar): Cook at 400°F for 40-50 minutes, flipping halfway, until soft inside
- For roasted potato chunks: About 20 minutes at 380-400°F, flipping or shaking halfway through, until golden and tender
In summary:
Potato Type| Temperature| Time| Notes
---|---|---|---
Baby potatoes (halved or quartered)| 400°F| 18-20 minutes| Toss or flip
halfway
Diced potatoes| 380-400°F| 20-25 minutes| Shake basket halfway
Whole baked potatoes| 400°F| 40-50 minutes| Flip halfway, test tenderness
Adjust time slightly based on potato size and air fryer model. Potatoes should be tender inside and crispy outside when done
