Crispy air fryer breakfast potatoes seasoned with garlic and smoked paprika for a delicious morning meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs (680g) yukon gold potatoes, washed and diced into 1/2 inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
- 1 1/21/2 teaspoons (7.5g) garlic powder
- 1 1/21/2 teaspoons (7.5g) onion powder
- 1 1/21/2 teaspoons (7.5g) smoked paprika
- 1 1/21/2 teaspoons (7.5g) salt
- 1/21/2 teaspoon (2.5g) black pepper
- fresh chopped parsley for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer, giving it a minute to warm up. You will know it is ready by the gentle hum of the fan. This ensures your potatoes cook evenly, so do not skip this step.
- Season Those Potatoes: Place diced potatoes into a large bowl and drizzle olive oil over them. Toss the potatoes around until well coated, ensuring they smell delicious. This helps achieve that desired crispy texture, so be generous but do not overdo it or they could become oily.
- Add Your Flavor Boosts: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Toss everything again until each potato is covered. The aroma of spices will fill your kitchen, indicating you are on the right track. Be cautious with salt if you are watching your intake.
- Load the Air Fryer: Carefully arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in your air fryer basket. They will sizzle and pop as they cook. It is important not to overcrowd them; this is key for achieving crispiness throughout.
- Cook & Shake It Up: Set the air fryer to cook for 23 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, give the basket a shake to turn the potatoes, ensuring the golden brown crust moves all around. This step helps avoid uneven cooking.
- Cool & Enjoy!: Once the cooking is complete, let the potatoes cool slightly before serving. They will be super hot right out of the fryer, so allow a moment before diving in.
Notes
- Storage Tips: Store cooled potatoes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven for the best results.
- Expert Tips: Cut potatoes evenly into 1/2 inch cubes for consistent cooking. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for optimal crispiness. Consider using a vegetable chopper for quicker dicing.
- Reheating Instructions: Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until heated through, about 10 minutes.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve alongside scrambled eggs and bacon. Incorporate into a breakfast burrito. Pair with a vegetable frittata for a hearty meal.
- Recipe Variations: Add diced bell pepper and onion for extra veggies. Incorporate chili powder for a spicy twist. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese before air frying for a cheesy flavor enhancement.
- Ingredient Notes: Yukon gold potatoes are recommended for their creaminess, but russet or red potatoes can be used as good alternatives, ensuring they are cut to the same size.
