The roast with potatoes in the air fryer is a dish that combines the tradition of Italian cuisine with the convenience of a modern and healthy preparation. Using the air fryer, you can achieve an even and golden cooking for both the meat and potatoes, drastically reducing the use of oil while preserving flavors and juiciness. The air fryer also allows for a quicker cooking time compared to the traditional oven, making this recipe perfect for those who want to save time without sacrificing taste.
During cooking, the meat retains a tender texture and the potatoes develop an irresistible crispiness on the outside while remaining soft inside. It’s a dish that easily adapts to any occasion, from family dinners to Sunday lunches, thanks to its simplicity and authentic flavors.

Steps for Preparing and Cooking the Roast:
Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes, place them in a bowl, cover them with room temperature water and leave them in the water for about 30 minutes.
Take the roast, place it in a baking dish and season it with oil, salt, and pepper, massaging the ingredients well into the meat to flavor it, then turn it and add more extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper, and repeat the same process on this side.
Drain the potatoes well and dry them with absorbent paper or a cotton towel, then transfer them to a bowl and season them with extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper, and then add spices to your liking. We used dried sage and rosemary; toss the potatoes well to flavor them thoroughly.
Line the air fryer grill with parchment paper, then add a few sprays of extra virgin olive oil and a clove of garlic, add the potatoes, and place the roast in the center, then cook at 392°F for 30 minutes, turning the meat and the potatoes every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
After the time has passed, remove the meat from the fryer (leave the potatoes so they stay warm), then remove the string from the meat and slice it thinly.
On a serving plate, place the potatoes and the meat on top, add the gravy that formed during cooking, and a few sprays of extra virgin olive oil.
