Make Potato Home Fries in an Air Fryer to Save Time and Energy

I love garlic home fries for breakfast and it's so easy to make in an air fryer. I've never used an air fryer before and I found using an air fryer to be easy and saves me time and energy.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups russet potatoes cubed (approximately 10 ounces, 2 large, or 3 medium)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or other neutral oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer (400°F for 3 minutes (or per manufacturer’s instructions).
  2. Combine the cubed potatoes, garlic powder, paprika, and olive oil in a medium sized bowl until thoroughly mixed.
  3. Add the potatoes to the air fryer basket, return to the base, and program the air fryer to cook at 375°F for 12 minutes and set a separate timer for 6 minutes.
  4. When the timer chimes, use a heat resistant spatula to stir the potatoes, and continue to air fry for the remaining time.
  5. At the end of 12 minutes total, check that they are golden brown and cook an extra minute as needed. Sprinkle with salt, toss, and serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

This recipe is easy to double to make 4 servings. However, air fry only 2 cups of cubed potatoes at a time until they're done and air fry a second batch.
