Can I use any type of potato?

Yes, but Yukon Gold and russet potatoes work best. I prefer yukon since their not as starchy, but russet work perfectly

Can I add other seasonings?

ABSOLUTELY. Experiment! The world of spice is vast! Use herbs, cayenne, chili powder anything really!!

How long do these potatoes last?

I would advice the same day as they loose their crisp but they remain edible for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator inside a container!

Can I make them ahead of time?

Technically, YES. I would suggest the very least for them not to lose their texture and for you to always experience them perfectly. And maybe when they reheat inside the airfryer. But always as fresh as possible for THE BEST crisp!

My potatoes aren't getting crispy?

Probably too much overcrowding - they must cook on a single layer. Ensure they aren't layered for full results!!! If they are not all golden and done: add one more minute or two for them to obtain their best colors and crunchy surface .

Instructions

Prep the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Season the Potatoes: Place the potato cubes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
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.
