Crispy, Golden Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 3 medium Russet potatoes diced into ½-inch cubes
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: fresh chopped parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
- Wash and dice the potatoes into small ½-inch cubes. Keeping them uniform in size helps them cook evenly and crisp up better.
Step 2: Season
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure every piece is well-coated with the seasoning blend.
Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3–5 minutes. This helps the potatoes start crisping up as soon as they go in.
Step 4: Cook in Batches
- Add the potatoes to the air fryer basket in a single layer — don’t overcrowd! Cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning. Depending on your air fryer’s size, you may need to cook in two batches.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
- Once they’re golden and crispy, remove from the air fryer and sprinkle with fresh herbs if using. Serve hot with your favorite breakfast mains!
