The air fryer is perfect for cooking onions and potatoes together. My Ninja 6-in-1 Air fryer fits comfortably 2 large cut-up potatoes and 2 medium-sized onions. Seasoned with a little oil, salt, garlic powder, and herbs, I love how potatoes come out with a crisp exterior, and onions are perfectly browned and caramelized.
Why air fryer potatoes and onions?
You can cook or fry them on the stovetop, but there are some reasons why I love to make them in the air fryer.
Ready within minutes: In the air fryer, it takes less oil and is cooked within 12-15 minutes. Pan-frying potatoes and onions on the stovetop may take at least 30 minutes, you need to add lots of oil for frying, also not remain healthy.
Mess-free: When you cook in the air fryer, you don’t need to clean the excess oil splatters, that are spread all over the stovetop. You just need to clean the air fryer basket once the cycle is complete and air fryer cools off.
Delicious: Air fryer potatoes and onions are just as delicious as pan-fried.
How to make Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes and Onions
For this recipe, you only need a few simple ingredients:
2 russet potatoes, cut into cubes
2 medium sweet onions (or yellow onions), chopped
Olive oil (or vegetable oil of choice)
Salt and pepper to taste
Garlic powder
Seasoning of choice
Fresh Rosemary, to taste
Directions
Cut onions and potatoes. Slice them how you prefer. I cut potatoes into approximately 1-inch thick cubes. And slice onions to ¼ inch thick.
In a medium bowl add potatoes, onions, oil and seasoning and mix all ingredients.
Coat the potatoes and onions with the seasoning by tossing them.
Now preheat the air fryer at 375F/190C.
Transfer potatoes and onion to the air fryer basket/tray, and lay them in a single layer.
Air fry them for 10 to 15 minutes ( toss them every five minutes so that they will cook evenly from each side)
Fry them until their desired color and crispiness.
