Ingredients
- 2 cups diced potatoes, red or Russet
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp ground pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
Instructions
- First, preheat air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Wash and pat dry potatoes. Dice into 1 inch cubes.
- Add diced potatoes to a large bowl. Add in remaining ingredients. Toss until potatoes are completely coated in olive oil and seasonings.
- Arrange potatoes in a single layer in air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 15 minutes. Test to see if potatoes are fork tender in the middle. Insert fork into a diced potato. If it goes in and out smoothly, remove potatoes from air fryer. If potatoes are still firm, cook another 5 to 7 minutes or until tender.
- Finally, remove air fryer basket from air fryer. Serve potatoes with choice of dipping sauce.
Notes
- If you have time, soak potatoes in a bowl of water for up to 1 hour before air frying. Then pat dry and begin recipe. This yields extra crispy potatoes but is not necessary in a time crunch.
- Red potatoes and Russet potatoes tend to do best in an air fryer. They maintain their shape but get tender in the middle.
- Feel free to adjust seasonings to suit your taste.
- My air fryer does a great job of evenly frying everything inside. If desired, flip potatoes at the 15 minute mark when you test if they are fork tender.
- Different air fryers have different power levels, so you may need to adjust your cooking time.
- Store potatoes in the fridge for up to 4 days.
