Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 3-4 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional toppings: chopped fresh herbs, grated cheese, or diced cooked bacon
Instructions:
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes, or leave the skin on for a more rustic texture. Cut them into bite-sized cubes or small wedges, ensuring uniformity in size for even cooking.
- Coat Potatoes: Place the potato cubes in a bowl and drizzle olive oil over them. Toss the potatoes to coat them evenly with the oil.
- Prepare Seasoning Mix: In a separate small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning mix.
- Season Potatoes: Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the oiled potatoes and toss until the potatoes are well-coated with the spices.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C), ensuring it reaches the desired temperature for cooking.
- Cook Potatoes: Once the air fryer is preheated, place the seasoned potato cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the basket to allow proper airflow and even cooking. If necessary, cook in batches.
- Air Fry: Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket or tossing the potatoes with tongs every 5-7 minutes to ensure even cooking. Cooking time may vary based on potato size and air fryer model. Check for doneness by piercing a potato with a fork; they should be tender inside and crispy outside.
- Optional Toppings: Once cooked to your desired level of crispiness, remove the potatoes from the air fryer. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs, grated cheese, or diced cooked bacon before serving.
- Serve: Serve the air fryer breakfast potatoes hot alongside your favorite breakfast items such as eggs, bacon, sausage, or avocado for a delicious start to your day.
Note: These air fryer breakfast potatoes are versatile and can be customized with your preferred seasonings and toppings. Experiment with different herbs and spices to suit your taste preferences and enjoy a hearty breakfast treat!
