Description

This recipe for Crispy Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes provides a quick and delicious way to enjoy perfectly seasoned, golden, and crispy potatoes using an air fryer. Yukon gold potatoes are diced and tossed in a blend of olive oil and spices including garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Air frying them ensures a tender inside with a crunchy exterior, making an ideal side for breakfast or brunch. Optional fresh parsley adds a bright finish.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 1 1/2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and diced into 1/2 inch cubes

Seasoning & Oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Garnish (Optional)

  • Fresh chopped parsley for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for 5 minutes to ensure it reaches the right temperature for crisping the potatoes effectively.
  2. Prepare the potatoes: Wash and dry the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Dice them into uniform 1/2 inch cubes for even cooking and crispiness.
  3. Season the potatoes: Place the diced potatoes in a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons each of garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss well to coat every piece evenly with the seasoning and oil.
  4. Air fry in batches: Transfer the seasoned potatoes to the air fryer basket in a single, even layer without overcrowding to allow proper air circulation. You may need to cook in batches depending on your air fryer size.
  5. Cook and toss: Air fry the potatoes for about 20 minutes, pausing every 6-7 minutes to toss and reposition the potatoes. This ensures even browning and crispiness. They should become fork-tender and golden brown around the edges by the end.
  6. Optional extra crisping: If your air fryer has an air broil function, broil the potatoes for 2-3 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally to prevent burning and to achieve extra crisp edges. If not, increase the temperature to 450°F and broil them carefully for the same duration.
  7. Serve and garnish: Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot as a flavorful and crispy breakfast side dish.

Notes

  • Ensure the potatoes are dried thoroughly after washing to achieve maximum crispness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for best results.
  • You can substitute olive oil with avocado oil for a different flavor profile.
  • Adjust the seasoning quantities to suit your taste preferences.
  • These potatoes are best served immediately for optimal crispiness.
  • For a gluten-free meal, ensure your spices are certified gluten-free.
