Air Fryer Potatoes
Description
This recipe starts by quartering Yukon Gold potatoes and seasoning them with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. The spiced potatoes are arranged in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crisping. Cooking at 380°F, the potatoes are shaken halfway for uniform browning.
The resulting potatoes feature crispy, golden edges while maintaining a tender interior. The paprika imparts subtle smokiness and color, while garlic powder adds gentle aromatic depth.
These air fried potatoes can accompany a range of meals or be enjoyed on their own. Leftovers store well in the fridge and reheat effectively in the air fryer to preserve crispness. Freezing cooked potatoes is possible, with reheating instructions to maintain texture provided.
Letting refrigerated leftovers return close to room temperature before reheating helps avoid sogginess, and reheating in the air fryer for several minutes restores the crisp exterior.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds potato quartered, Yukon gold variety
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer 380°F.
- Place the potatoes in a bowl with the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and toss to combine.
- Transfer the potatoes to the air fryer and arrange in a single layer. You may need to cook in two batches. Cook until crispy with golden brown edges, shaking the basket halfway through, 20-25 minutes total.
- Remove and add more salt to taste, if desired.
Notes
- Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days; cool completely before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
- To reheat, bring leftovers toward room temperature for about 15 minutes, then air fry at 380°F for 4-6 minutes to regain crispness.
- Cooked potatoes can be frozen for up to 3 months in freezer-safe containers; thaw and reheat in the air fryer per reheating instructions.
- The nutrition label provided does not account for dips or sauces served with the potatoes.
