Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or your preferred cooking oil)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder


Instructions

  • Prep the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes for even cooking.

  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for consistent and even cooking.
  • Arrange in the Basket: Spread the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid stacking or overcrowding for optimal crispiness.
  • First Air Fry: Air fry the potatoes for 15 minutes.
  • Shake the Basket: Shake the basket thoroughly to move the potatoes around and ensure even browning.
  • Second Air Fry: Air fry the potatoes for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. For extra crunch, cook for an additional 1–2 minutes.
  • Serve Hot: Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with parsley for a pop of color.

Notes

  • Cut Evenly: Make sure the potato cubes are roughly the same size for even cooking.
  • Don’t Overcrowd: Cook in batches if necessary to prevent overcrowding, ensuring all pieces get crispy.
  • Customize Seasonings: Add chili powder or smoked paprika for a spicier kick.
  • Storage Tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes.
  • Serving Suggestions: Pair with eggs, bacon, or your favorite breakfast proteins for a complete meal.
