'Full of flavour' air fryer roast potatoes are ready to eat in 30 minutes

Roast potato recipes can be found in abundance in cookbooks and online, but often the results come down to technique rather than ingredients.

Fortunately, a food expert has the perfect remedy to avoid serving spoiled roasties alongside a carefully cooked joint of roast beef or pork this weekend.

Sharing his recipe exclusively with Express.co.uk, Matt Webster, founder of the UK's foremost spice company Seasoned Pioneers said: "Thanks to all the different seasonings, this simple air fryer roast potato recipe is full of flavour and whilst they go perfectly with a Sunday roast, they can also be the perfect accompaniment to any dish."

He continued: "By using baby potatoes, this simple recipe saves time, as there’s no need to chop up the potatoes into smaller pieces. If you’re looking for an extra kick to your roast potatoes, why not experiment with the flavours and add some chilli flakes or paprika to the seasoning mix?"

Air fryer roast potatoes

Ingredients

500g baby potatoes
Two tbsp olive oil
One tsp garlic powder
One tsp onion powder
One tsp dried rosemary
One tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
1/4 tsp black peppercorns, crushed

Method

Preheating the air fryer isn't essential for many recipes but doing so can shave even more time off the cooking process.

Matt recommended setting your air fryer to 200C for about five minutes before washing and scrubbing the baby potatoes.

When clean, pat the potatoes dry and toss them in a large bowl with olive oil, making sure they are
well-coated.

Next, measure out the garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, and dried thyme directly into the bowl. Finish with the salt, and black pepper then stir or toss to ensure everything is coated.

Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Matt urged: "Make sure you avoid overcrowding the potatoes".
