Air fryer home fries are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried potatoes. Here’s a simple recipe to make crispy and flavorful air fryer home fries:
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 parsley, grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Wash and scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt. Leave the skin on for extra texture and flavor, or you can peel them if desired. Cut the potatoes into small cubes, about 1/2 inch in size.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the potato cubes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Place the seasoned potatoes in the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking. You may need to cook them in batches if your air fryer is small.
- Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to ensure even browning. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the potato cubes and the air fryer model. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Once the home fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle some fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.
- Serve the air fryer home fries immediately as a side dish or as a delicious addition to your favorite breakfast or brunch recipes.
Enjoy your crispy and flavorful air fryer home fries!
