Ingredients And Substitutions
Potatoes – Any type of potato should work with adjustments in prep work and cooking time.
Olive oil – We used extra virgin olive oil because its flavor complements the seasonings, but you can use any neutral oil like avocado or canola oil. You’ll need to toss potatoes with oil for that signature golden brown, crispy exterior.
Paprika, garlic powder, salt, ground pepper, and onion powder – I think these heart shaped potatoes are delicious with a few simple seasonings. But for something extra, minced garlic, vegan parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and parsley will also be yummy for these air-fried potatoes.

Air Fryer Roasted Potato Recipe FAQs
Do I need to use oil for air fryer potatoes?
Yes, I recommend using oil for these heart shaped potatoes to help the seasonings stick and achieve a perfectly crispy exterior.
Which type of potatoes are best for air fryer roasted potatoes?
Russets and Yukon Golds are the perfect potatoes for roasting because they both crisp up nicely. The former is fluffy, while the latter is creamy inside!
Do I need to soak my potatoes in water before air frying them?
Some soak their starchy potatoes to remove the excess starch and prevent gumminess, but this extra step is unnecessary here.
What do I season heart-shaped roasted potatoes with?
We kept the seasonings for these roasted heart potatoes simple, but Italian seasoning and Cajun spices would also be perfect.
Can you make roasted potato hearts in the oven?
You can make heart-shaped roasted potatoes in the oven preheated to 425°F! Place the seasoned potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
