There is nothing better than starting your morning with a plate of golden, crispy potatoes. This recipe is a favorite in my house because it delivers that classic roasted texture in half the time compared to using the oven.

My top tip is to make sure you dry your potato cubes thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel before tossing them with oil. Removing the extra moisture ensures they get nice and crunchy in the air fryer instead of steaming.

Ingredients

  • 2 large russet potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl and pat them completely dry with a towel.

  3. 3

    Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated in the oil and spices.

  5. 5

    Transfer the potatoes to the air fryer basket in a single layer.

  6. 6

    Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, making sure to shake the basket halfway through to ensure they brown evenly.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately while they are hot and crispy.

💡 Tips

Serve these alongside scrambled eggs or crispy bacon for a complete meal. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to bring back the crunch.
