Description
Make crispy breakfast potatoes quickly in your air fryer using paprika for color and flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Soak the cubed potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain them completely and pat them very dry with paper towels. This step helps achieve crispiness.
- In a bowl, toss the dry potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper 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 if possible; work in batches if necessary. Do not overcrowd the basket.
- Air fry for 15 minutes. Shake the basket well.
- Continue to air fry for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve immediately for breakfast.
Notes
- Drying the potatoes thoroughly after soaking is the most important step for crispiness.
- For extra crunch, you can spray the potatoes lightly with cooking spray halfway through the cooking time.
- Use smoked paprika for a deeper flavor profile.
