  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Optional Garnish
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp sliced green onions

Equipment

  • 1 Air fryer used for cooking potatoes until crispy
  • 1 Mixing Bowl used for seasoning potatoes
  • 1 Sharp Knife used for cutting potatoes
  • 1 Cutting Board used for prep work
  • 1 Measuring Spoons used for seasonings
  • 1 Measuring Cups used if portioning ingredients
  • 1 Silicone spatula or spoon used for mixing potatoes
  • 1 Kitchen towel used for drying potatoes thoroughly

Method
 

  1. Wash and dice potatoes into small cubes.
  2. Pat potatoes dry thoroughly.
  3. Toss potatoes with olive oil and seasonings.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Arrange potatoes in a single layer.
  6. Air fry for 18–22 minutes.
  7. Shake basket halfway through cooking.
  8. Continue cooking until golden and crispy.

Notes

Dry the potatoes thoroughly before cooking to remove excess moisture and help them achieve maximum crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket, as proper air circulation is essential for even cooking and browning. Be sure to shake the basket halfway through the cooking time so the potatoes crisp evenly on all sides. For the best texture and flavor, serve the potatoes immediately after cooking while they are hot, golden, and perfectly crispy.
