Ingredients
To make these frozen roast potatoes in the air fryer, all you need are these 2 ingredients:
Frozen roast potatoes - I have used frozen roast potatoes with rosemary and garlic flavour from the Deli. These are pre-seasoned frozen potatoes, so there's no need to add any seasoning.
But if you are using regular ones, season them with your choice of seasoning, such as garlic powder, chilli flakes, or salt, before placing them in an air fryer.
I use extra virgin olive oil, but any oil works well. While oil isn't mandatory, it adds richness. Swap it with 2-ingredient chilli oil for deliciously fiery potatoes!
Cilantro is optional, just for garnish.
See the recipe card for quantities.
How to air fry frozen roast potatoes?
To make these delicious air-fried frozen diced potatoes, take them out of the bag and place them on the air fryer rack or basket.
Coat them with a few drops of olive oil using a silicone brush.
Avoid stacking. Air fry at 180°C for 20 minutes or until the frozen roast potatoes turn golden brown and crispy.
Garnish with finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley leaves. Serve these warm air-fryer frozen roast potatoes with your favorite dip or green cilantro chutney!
Variations
Using plain frozen potatoes? Spice them up with chili flakes, Sriracha, or a dash of Schezwan sauce.
You can oven‑bake them (though an air fryer yields the best crisp).
Fresh herbs like rosemary, parsley, or coriander add a lovely finishing touch.
Storage
Store the leftovers in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days. To reuse these air-fried potatoes, reheat them in an air fryer for 5-10 minutes at 180°C before use.
Serving Ideas
Pair with garlic chutney, tomato chutney, carrot chutney, and avocado-olive dip.
Serve alongside lemon rice and pumpkin rice.
Complements well with chicken dishes such as chicken bhuna masala, chicken chowmein masala, and chicken biryani.
These taste so amazing with soups such as butternut squash with tomatoes and 3c soup.
FAQs
Yes, you can! Most air fryer brands highlight that oil isn't required, making air frying a healthier cooking method. However, I've found that adding just a few drops of oil can really boost both flavor and crispiness. So, while it's totally optional, a light brush or spray of oil can take your air-fried dishes to the next level!
No, there is no need to thaw/defrost the frozen food before air frying. Season it with your favourite seasoning if it is not pre-seasoned, and air-fry it for the required time and temperature. That's it!
Air-fried potatoes may not turn crispy for the following reasons:
1. Overcrowding: You might have placed potatoes on top of one another in an air fryer, and as a result, hot air is unable to circulate and penetrate through the potatoes properly to make them crisp. So, avoid stacking them and keep them apart.
2. Excessive oil: Using oil in large portions might turn them soggy.

Tips
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer to ensure even crisping.
Use oil sparingly, just enough to coat.
Leftovers are fantastic; reheating in the air fryer gives back much of that 'freshly‑cooked' texture.
