Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This isn’t a suggestion. It’s a command.
Lower temps will give you sad, pale potatoes. That’s a crime against carbs.
Cook them for 15 minutes. Then shake the basket. This is non-negotiable. It’s like giving them a pep talk.

Cook for another 5 to 10 minutes. Watch them transform into golden nuggets of joy.
The Crowding Catastrophe
Do not overcrowd the basket. This is the #1 air fryer sin.
If potatoes touch, they steam. Steam means soggy. And nobody wants a soggy roast potato.
Cook in batches if you have to. Yes, it takes a little longer. But your taste buds will thank you.
