Air Fryer Potatoes

Air Fryer Potatoes are quartered Yukon Gold potatoes tossed with olive oil and spices then cooked until crispy with golden edges in the air fryer. The paprika and garlic powder provide warm, savory notes complementing the crisp texture. This method offers a practical alternative to oven roasting with a shorter cooking time and less oil, ideal for side dishes or snacks.

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.
