Air Fryer Yellow Potatoes are the perfect must-try for a side dish recipe, these pair well with Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Chicken Breast too. These air-fried potatoes are crispy on the outside but tender on the inside!
Yukon Gold Potatoes have a creamy, buttery taste and a softer texture than russets, which is what makes them perfect for a side dish. They are versatile to use and a crowd-pleaser. They are also a better-for-you option over fried potatoes since we are only using a very minimal amount of oil.
What ingredients do you need for Air Fryer Yellow Potatoes?
- Yukon Gold Potatoes
- Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
- Olive Oil Spray
- Garlic Powder
- Garlic Salt

Tips for Making the Best Air Fryer Potatoes:
- Cut the potatoes into small chunks or wedges, the skin can stay on the potatoes.
- Use a small bowl to add the potatoes to and toss them with the olive oil and seasonings.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket, keep the potatoes in a single layer if possible to allow the air to circulate.
- It’s best to shake or stir up the potatoes halfway through the cooking time.
- When the potatoes are done they should be crisp on the outside but fork-tender on the inside.
- Get Creative! Use different seasonings if preferred such as parmesan, paprika, or chili powder.
Variations of Air Fryer Potatoes:
Use a variety of seasonings or spices to add different tastes and flavors.
- Smoked Paprika
- Red Chili Pepper Flakes

We love to garnish with grated parmesan and dried parsley.
How do you store leftovers?
Once the potatoes have fully cooled, store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
When ready to reheat, place them in the air fryer at 330 degrees F for 2-3 minutes, this will help you bring back those air fryer crispy potatoes!
Air Fryer Yellow Potatoes are a go-to for a simple side dish on a busy weeknight with their crispy texture and soft interior, you’re going to love seeing these on your plate!

Thanks.
I recently got my air fryer oven I’ve been searching all over for basic recipes to get a feel for the differences in temp and time from conventional oven cooking. There are lots of recipes out there but most don’t have the basic recipes. I so appreciate that you take the time to do so.
With this one recipe I now have an idea where to start converting my tried and trues.
Thanks so much for sharing your expertise with us!!
