Crispy Air Fryer Diced Potatoes
Description
Crispy Air Fryer Diced Potatoes uses bite-sized pieces of red or Yukon gold potatoes that are soaked in cold water to remove starch and ensure they crisp well. After drying, the potatoes are tossed in olive oil, kosher salt, and garlic powder before being cooked in a preheated air fryer at 370°F. Cooking in batches prevents overcrowding and promotes even browning, while shaking the basket halfway through helps crisp all sides. The potatoes finish with a golden crisp crust and tender interior, enhanced by fresh parsley added at the end.
This recipe works well as a flavorful breakfast side or a simple vegetable side dish at lunch or dinner. The combination of mild garlic seasoning and fresh parsley gives the potatoes a subtle savory flavor that complements many main dishes.
Keeping the skins on preserves nutrients and adds texture. Peeling is optional but uniform potato pieces are key for even cooking. Soaking and drying well before cooking prevents sogginess. Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and can be reheated using the air fryer or oven to restore crispness.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds red potato 4-5 medium, or Yukon gold potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley, fresh
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces (¾ inch). Soak them in cold water for at least 10 minutes. Rinse and dry the potatoes.
- Toss the potatoes in a large bowl with the olive oil, salt, and garlic powder. If using dried parsley, add it at this point. If using fresh parsley, you’ll add it at the end.
- Preheat the air fryer to 370°F for 2-3 minutes. Add the potatoes in a single layer to the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd the basket- cook the potatoes in two batches if needed.
- Cook potatoes 14-15 minutes, shaking the basket to toss them halfway through. Potatoes are done when they are easily pierced with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on how large the pieces of potatoes are.
- Transfer potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Cut potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Soak diced potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, which helps achieve a crispy texture.
- Dry potatoes thoroughly before tossing with oil and seasonings to prevent steaming.
- Preheat the air fryer to jumpstart cooking for a better crust.
- Cook in batches without overcrowding to promote browning instead of steaming.
- Shake the basket halfway to brown potatoes evenly on all sides.
- Check potatoes near the end of cooking to avoid over-browning due to variations in air fryer models.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and reheat to crisp.
