Air Fryer Roast Potatoes with Ultimate Roast Potato Seasoning

Golden edges, fluffy middles and a herby breadcrumb coating: these air fryer roast potatoes make a generous side for roast chicken, grilled vegetables or a Sunday lunch. Parboiling and steaming the potatoes dry gives them a head start; adding the seasoning towards the end helps protect the breadcrumbs as they crisp.

Ingredients

For the potatoes

• 1 kg floury potatoes, peeled and cut into 4–5 cm chunks
• 35 g Spice Cartel Ultimate Roast Potatoes seasoning
• 2 tbsp rapeseed or sunflower oil, plus 1 tsp if needed

Method

1. Parboil and dry. Put the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 7–8 minutes until the outer edges begin to soften. Drain well, leave to steam dry for 5 minutes, then shake gently in the pan to roughen the edges.
2. Start the potatoes. Heat the air fryer to 190°C, following its instructions. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of oil. Arrange in a single, loose layer and cook for 15 minutes, turning halfway. Use batches if needed; crowding the basket prevents crisping.
3. Add the seasoning. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the Ultimate Roast Potatoes seasoning. Add the extra teaspoon of oil only if the coating looks dry. Return to the air fryer at 180°C for 8–12 minutes, turning once, until golden and tender all the way through. Check early because breadcrumb coatings can brown quickly.
4. Serve straight away. Lift into a warmed serving bowl and serve while the edges are crisp. If cooking in batches, keep the first batch warm in a low oven and give it a brief return to the air fryer before serving if needed.

Serving ideas and cooking tips

• Maris Piper or King Edward potatoes are good choices for a fluffy centre. Keep the pieces a similar size so they cook evenly.
• The cooking time includes parboiling and one air fryer batch; allow extra time if your basket cannot hold all the potatoes in one layer.
• Check the seasoning pack for ingredients and allergens before serving.
