Description
Make perfectly crispy breakfast potatoes with a fluffy interior using your air fryer and smoked paprika seasoning.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Wash and dice the potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes. Do not peel them for maximum crispiness.
- Place the diced potatoes in a bowl. Toss them thoroughly with the olive oil until lightly coated.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the potatoes and toss again until evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary. Crowding prevents crisping.
- Air fry for 15 minutes.
- Open the basket and shake the potatoes vigorously to turn them over.
- Continue to air fry for another 5 to 10 minutes, shaking every 5 minutes, until the potatoes are deep golden brown and very crispy on the outside.
- Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the diced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning, then dry them completely with paper towels.
- If your potatoes are not browning enough, add 1 teaspoon of oil halfway through cooking and continue shaking frequently.
