Air fryer breakfast potatoes are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. Here’s a simple recipe to make crispy and flavorful breakfast potatoes using an air fryer:
Ingredients:
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional toppings: chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives), grated cheese, sour cream, or hot sauce
Instructions:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized cubes. You can peel the potatoes if desired, but leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrients.
- Place the potato cubes in a large bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the oil.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the potatoes, and toss them again to ensure even distribution of the spices.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Once the air fryer is preheated, transfer the seasoned potato cubes to the air fryer basket. Spread them out in a single layer to allow for even cooking.
- Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for approximately 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of your potato cubes and the desired crispiness.
- Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and transfer to a serving plate. If desired, sprinkle them with chopped fresh herbs, grated cheese, or any other toppings of your choice.
- Serve the air fryer breakfast potatoes hot as a side dish for your breakfast or brunch. They pair well with eggs, bacon, sausage, or as a filling for breakfast burritos.
Enjoy your delicious and crispy air fryer breakfast potatoes!
