Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Dice the potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes to ensure even cooking. Aim for bite-sized pieces that will crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
- Place the diced potatoes in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil, ensuring each potato piece is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over the potatoes. Toss thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-4 minutes to ensure a hot cooking environment.
- Arrange the seasoned potato cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow proper air circulation and crispy results.
- Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket or turning the potatoes every 5-7 minutes to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing with a fork. They should be golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Once cooked, transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and taste, adjusting seasoning if needed.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy, optionally garnishing with fresh chopped herbs like parsley or chives.
Tips
- • Always pat your potatoes completely dry before seasoning to achieve maximum crispiness • Cut potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes to ensure even cooking • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket - give those potato cubes room to breathe and crisp up • Shake or turn potatoes every 5-7 minutes for golden, evenly browned results • For extra flavor, experiment with different seasonings like smoked paprika, dried herbs, or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese • Serve immediately after cooking to maintain that perfect crispy texture • If cooking in batches, keep first batch warm in a low-temperature oven while finishing subsequent batches
