Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 10 minutes.

  2. Toss 20 ounces of 1 to 1.5-inch russet potato chunks with 2.5 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper.

  3. Transfer potatoes to the air fryer basket in an even layer; air fry at 400°F for 15 minutes, shaking halfway through.

  4. Increase air fryer temperature to 450°F and continue air frying for 10 to 15 minutes until golden and crispy, shaking halfway through.

  5. While potatoes cook, blend 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 cup drained roasted red peppers, 0.25 cup Marcona almonds, 1 tablespoon sherry or apple cider vinegar, 1.5 teaspoons sweet paprika, 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika, 0.125 to 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon salt until smooth; adjust seasoning if desired.

  6. Serve the crispy potatoes immediately, either with the romesco sauce on the side for dipping or spooned directly over them.
