Easy Ninja Foodi Red Potatoes Recipe Tips

  • Cut evenly: Slice potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking.
  • Dry before seasoning: Pat potatoes dry to help them crisp up better.
  • Use fresh herbs: Rosemary, thyme, or parsley add vibrant, aromatic flavor.
  • Don’t overcrowd: Leave space between potatoes for maximum browning and crispiness.
  • Check doneness: Test with a fork; potatoes should be tender inside.
  • Optional butter finish: Add butter after cooking for extra richness and flavor.
  • Customize seasonings: Try garlic powder, smoked paprika, or Italian herbs for different flavor profiles.

Storing Instructions

  • Refrigerator: Store cooled potatoes in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in the Ninja Foodi, air fryer, or oven at 320°F for 5–7 minutes to restore crispiness.
  • Freezing: While not ideal for maintaining crispiness, cooked potatoes can be frozen in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat before serving.
