Air Fryer Breakfast Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
Wash and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Keep the skin on for added fiber and texture. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2: Season the Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl, combine diced potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Step 3: Air Fry the Potatoes
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes. Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer for even cooking. Cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure crispiness.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Once golden and crispy, remove the potatoes from the air fryer. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot with your favorite breakfast accompaniments, such as scrambled eggs or avocado toast.
Tips and Tricks
- Use starchy potatoes like Russets for the crispiest results.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed.
- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste. For example, add chili flakes for a spicy kick.
