Here’s a simple and crispy Air Fryer Potatoes recipe—golden on the outside, fluffy on the inside 🥔✨
Air Fryer Potatoes
Ingredients (serves 2–4)
- 1 lb (about 4 medium) potatoes, cut into cubes or wedges
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Optional seasonings: garlic powder, paprika, rosemary, thyme
Instructions
- Prep potatoes
- Wash and cut potatoes into evenly sized cubes or wedges.
- Pat dry with a towel to remove excess moisture (helps them get crispy).
- Season
- Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings.
- Air fry
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange potatoes in a single layer in the basket (avoid overcrowding).
- Cook 15–20 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve
- Enjoy hot as a side dish or snack. Optional: sprinkle with fresh herbs or grated Parmesan.
Tips & Variations
- Extra crispy: Soak potato cubes in cold water 30 minutes before cooking; dry thoroughly.
- Flavor twists: Use smoked paprika, Cajun seasoning, or Italian herbs.
- Sweet potatoes: Substitute sweet potatoes and adjust cooking time slightly.
- Air fryer hash browns: Grate potatoes, season, and air fry 10–12 minutes for a breakfast twist.
I can also give a garlic-parmesan air fryer potato version or loaded air fryer potato wedges if you want.
