I discovered this recipe one lazy Sunday when I wanted snack-worthy potatoes without the mess of deep frying. The first bite of those golden, herb-infused slices had me hooked! Now I make them weekly—they’re that easy and delicious. With just a handful of ingredients and 30 minutes, you’ll have crunchy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside potato toasts that disappear fast. Trust me, once you try these air fryer rosemary potato toasts, you’ll understand why I’m obsessed.
Ingredients for Air Fryer Rosemary Potato Toasts
You’ll be shocked how such simple ingredients transform into something so addictive! Here’s exactly what you need (and yes, I’ve learned the hard way – measure carefully for best results):
- 2 medium potatoes (russets work great), thinly sliced about 1/8″ thick – trust me, uniform thickness is key!
- 2 tbsp olive oil (the good stuff – it makes a difference)
- 1 tsp dried rosemary (crush it between your fingers to wake up the flavor)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (not garlic salt!)
- 1/4 tsp salt (I use kosher – adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (freshly cracked if you have it)
That’s it! Now let’s turn these humble ingredients into crispy little wonders.
How to Make Air Fryer Rosemary Potato Toasts
Okay, let’s get cooking! I’ve made this recipe so many times I could do it in my sleep, but here are all my little secrets for perfect potato toasts every single time:
- Preheat that air fryer! Crank it to 375°F (190°C) while you prep the potatoes. This gives you that instant crisp we’re after.
- Toss with love: In a big bowl, coat those thin potato slices with olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Get your hands in there – massaging the seasoning in makes all the difference.
- Single layer is key: Arrange slices in one layer in the basket – no overlapping! They need their personal space to get crispy. Do batches if needed.
- First round: Air fry for 10 minutes. You’ll already smell that rosemary working its magic!
- The flip: Carefully turn each slice (I use tongs) and cook another 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy at the edges. Don’t be afraid of a few dark spots – that’s flavor!
You’ll know they’re done when they’re crispy enough to hold their shape but still have a little give in the center. Perfection!
Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Rosemary Potato Toasts
- Slice evenly: Use a mandoline if you have one – uneven slices mean some burn while others stay soft.
- No overcrowding: Seriously, give them space! Overcrowding = steamed potatoes, not crispy ones.
- Know your air fryer: Cooking times vary. Check a few minutes early the first time.
- Extra crisp hack: Lightly spray with oil halfway through cooking for next-level crunch.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Listen, I don’t just make these rosemary potato toasts weekly because I’m lazy (though, okay, that’s part of it). Here’s why you’ll be obsessed too:

Serving Suggestions for Air Fryer Rosemary Potato Toasts
Oh, the possibilities! These crispy potato toasts shine warm from the air fryer – but don’t stop there. Try them with:
- Dips: Garlic aioli for fancy nights, cool ranch for kids, or good old ketchup when you’re feeling classic
- Salads: Crumbled over arugula with lemon dressing – instant crunch factor!
- Sides: Swap fries at burger night – they’re perfect alongside anything from juicy patties to grilled chicken
Pro tip: Serve immediately – that irresistible crispiness waits for no one!
Storage and Reheating
Here’s my golden rule for these potato toasts: they’re best eaten immediately (who can resist anyway?). But if you must store them, pop them in an airtight container – they’ll keep for about 2 days. When you’re ready for round two, skip the microwave (soggy sadness!) and toss them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes. You’ll be amazed how that crispy magic comes right back!
Air Fryer Rosemary Potato Toasts FAQs
Can I use fresh rosemary instead of dried?
Absolutely! I actually prefer fresh when I have it. Just chop it super fine (about 1 tablespoon fresh equals 1 teaspoon dried) and toss it right in. Fresh rosemary gives such a vibrant flavor – you’ll taste the difference!
Will sweet potatoes work instead of regular potatoes?
They sure do! Sweet potato toasts are delicious, but they need a little less time – start checking at 15 minutes total. The natural sugars caramelize faster, so watch for burning. I love the extra sweetness with the rosemary!
Can I make these without oil?
Technically yes, but they won’t get nearly as crispy. The oil helps conduct heat and creates that golden exterior we love. If you must skip it, try a light spray of cooking oil for at least some crunch.
Why are my potato toasts sticking to the basket?
Oh no! Two likely culprits: either you skipped the oil (see above!) or your slices were too thick. Thin, evenly coated slices release beautifully. If they still stick, try a quick spritz of oil on the basket before cooking.
