Notes

  1. Best Potatoes: Use either Yukon gold potatoes or red potatoes. You do not need to peel the potatoes. The skins turn out so crispy in the air fryer and taste amazing!
  2. Seasoning: You can sub the salt-free Cajun seasoning with homemade salt-free Fajita seasoning or a simple seasoning mix like - Italian seasoning + paprika + ground black pepper or rosemary + oregano + paprika + ground black pepper. For spicy flavor add red pepper flakes or a few pinches of cayenne pepper.
  3. Air fryer: This recipe has been tested in an Instant pot vortex air fryer, Bella air fryer and also using the instant pot air fryer lid. You may have to slightly adjust the cook time depending on your air fryer brand, model and make.
