Notes
You can use other varieties of potatoes if desired, though cooking time may vary slightly
The seasonings are entirely adjustable and swappable. Sometimes I add some Cajun seasoning or cayenne for a kick, chives and dill are other popular options as well
You may omit the eggs if preferred
In addition to onion, feel free to add about ¼ cup of diced celery if you like, or some chopped pickles
For a loaded variation, swap sour cream for mayo and add cooked diced bacon, chives, and shredded cheese
You can also boil your eggs on the stove in lieu of cooking them in the air fryer if you prefer
Feel free to leave your potatoes unpeeled if you like the skins. It helps add a more fried look to the potato salad with the dark, crispy skins
Store leftover roasted potato salad in the refrigerator for up to 5 days
You may also make air fried potatoes up to a day ahead of time and refrigerate them. Dress just prior to serving!
