Jamie Oliver Air Fryer Roast Potatoes
Jamie Oliver Air Fryer Roast Potatoes are classic British-style roast potatoes cooked in an air fryer instead of an oven. The potatoes are parboiled, roughed up slightly, then air-fried until crisp and golden, delivering a proper roast texture with less fat.

- 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: garlic cloves, rosemary, or thyme
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Even sizing ensures they cook and crisp at the same rate.
Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 8–10 minutes until the edges are soft but the centres still hold their shape. Drain thoroughly.
Return the drained potatoes to the pot, place the lid on, and shake gently. This roughens the edges, which is key to creating a crisp exterior during air frying.
Transfer the potatoes to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, season generously with salt and black pepper, and toss until evenly coated. Add herbs or garlic if using.
Preheat the air fryer to 190°C for 3–4 minutes. Preheating helps the potatoes start crisping immediately.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 20–25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning.
For extra crunch, increase the temperature to 200°C for the final 5 minutes. This gives the potatoes a deeper golden colour and firmer crust.
Remove the potatoes and let them rest for 2 minutes. This allows the crust to settle before serving.
