Air Fryer Syracuse Salted Potatoes
Suppose you are not familiar with Air Fryer Syracuse Salted Potatoes at all. They are really popular in New York, where they are a staple. They actually sell kits with the potatoes, salt, and seasonings, that you can buy in the grocery stores.
Today, since I live in Philadelphia, I made my own, and you only really need a few ingredients,
- Potatoes: I used Russet, you can also use other baking potatoes. The recipe will work the same.
- Salt: You can use any table salt for this recipe, or even use sea salt.
- Olive Oil: Use enough to cover the potatoes.
How To Make Air Fryer Syracuse Salted Potatoes

Start by rubbing the olive oil over the potato. Then add the salt to the potato.

Place the potato into the air fryer basket for 40-45 minutes, at 400 degrees F, air fryer setting. Flip halfway with a pair of tongs.
Plate, serve, and enjoy!

Tips for Making Air Fryer Baked Potatoes
- Try to prepare potatoes at about the same time, so they cook evenly.
- You do not need to pierce these potatoes with a fork; they will be fine. If you are anxious about them exploding, you can add a few holes, but it’s unnecessary. The hot air will penetrate through the potato, cooking it perfectly.
- Do not crowd the basket; you may need to run the air fryer several times for all of your family’s potatoes to be cooked.
What Potatoes Do You Use for Salt Potatoes
If you’ve never had salt potatoes before, you’re in for a real treat! These potatoes are simple to make but pack a lot of flavors. The key is using the right kind of potato so that they can absorb all that delicious salty goodness
I recommend using regular baking potatoes, whether Yukon Potatoes, Russet potatoes, or any baking potato.
Do Salt Potatoes Taste Overly Salty
Salt potatoes are a regional dish from upstate New York and parts of Canada. The dish is made by boiling new potatoes in heavily salted water, then serving them with melted butter and chopped fresh parsley. Some people love salt potatoes for their salty flavor, while others find them too salty.
If you don’t want true salt potatoes, you can reduce the salt that you use for the recipe. I personally love the salty taste of the potatoes!

How Long Do Syracuse Salt Potatoes Store In Fridge
