Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 and ½ pounds potatoes cut into 1 inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or granules
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic granules, and season with salt and pepper. Make sure that the potatoes are well coated.
- Place in the Air Fryer basket, and roast at 380°F (195°C) for 10 minutes. Flip the potatoes, and roast for 10 more minutes.
Notes
- You don’t have to preheat the Air Fryer, but if you have time, then preheating it for 5 minutes will result in crispier potatoes.
- If you’re using starchy potatoes, then it helps to soak them in cold water for 10-15 minutes prior to roasting them to get rid of the extra starch. Make sure to pat dry the potatoes, as otherwise, they will steam rather than roast.
- Use tongs or turner to flip the potatoes halfway through, shaking the basket might break some of the potatoes and won’t flip them all.
- Serve hot as a side or appetizer. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro, and make a tasty homemade dip such as ranch dressing, Yum yum sauce, lime crema, or even guacamole!
