Notes

This recipe was tested using the Ninja AG301 Foodi 5-in-1 Indoor Grill / Air Fryer.
To use that model:

• Select “Air Crisp” at 400°F and preheat
• Add potatoes when prompted to “Add Food”
• Cook for 18 minutes, flipping halfway through

All air fryers vary slightly, so use visual cues and a quick fork test to make sure your potatoes are done.

Tips for Best Results

• Don’t skip the halfway flip—it helps get every side crispy.

• Use waxy potatoes (like red or Yukon gold) for the best texture.

• For extra crispiness, add 1–2 more minutes at the end.

• Parmesan is optional but strongly encouraged.

Make These Air Fryer Rosemary Garlic Potatoes Your Own

• Swap dried rosemary for thyme or Italian seasoning.

• Add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes for heat.

• Toss finished potatoes with fresh lemon juice or aioli for extra zing.
