Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes
Description
This Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes recipe uses diced Yukon Gold potatoes tossed with olive oil and a seasoning mix of salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Preheating the air fryer ensures an even crisping. The potatoes cook for 15 to 20 minutes, shaken halfway to promote uniform browning.
The resulting potatoes have a crispy exterior from the high heat and oil, with a tender interior thanks to the Yukon Gold's medium starch content. The paprika and garlic powder add mild smoky and savory notes that complement classic breakfast flavors.
These potatoes can be served alongside eggs, bacon, or sausage for a complete breakfast. They store well in the refrigerator for up to four days and reheat easily to retain crispiness.
Additional ingredients like chopped onions, bell peppers, or a parmesan sprinkle can be added for variation. Uniform potato size and not overcrowding the air fryer basket are key tips for even cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 pound potato diced into 1 inch cubes, Yukon gold variety
- 1/4 cup olive oil

- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
