Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes
These quick and crispy air fryer breakfast potatoes are easy to prepare and perfect for busy mornings. Tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, they are seasoned with garlic, parsley, paprika, and rosemary for a flavorful start to your day.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 4 large red potatoes firm, fresh
- 1 tablespoon olive oil to give that golden touch and help spices stick
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic fresh or jarred
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes adds a bit of green color and freshness
- 0.5 tablespoon paprika for that smoky, warming flavor
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary a little kick without overpowering the potatoes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt to bring out all those flavors
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper just enough to add a little bite on your tongue
Instructions
Instructions
- Wash and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Make sure they’re all about the same size so they cook evenly.
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, dried parsley flakes, paprika, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper until everything’s evenly coated. It helps when your hands get messy here.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes while you prep or finish seasoning.
- Place the seasoned potatoes into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Crowding makes them steam, not crisp.
- Pop the basket in and cook for 20 to 25 minutes. Shake the basket every 5 minutes so the potatoes brown nice and even.
- Meanwhile, set your pressure cooker sealing ring properly for cooking. Add a cup of water to the inner pot and a steamer rack.
- Put the potatoes in a heatproof dish that fits inside your pressure cooker. Place the dish on the rack, seal the lid, and set to high pressure for 3 minutes. You’ll notice the pressure build start and steam cues soon. When done, hit the quick release carefully to avoid burns. The potatoes should have a tender pull but be soft. Then transfer them right to the air fryer for the crisp finish.
Notes
For the crispiest potatoes, soak diced potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes, then rinse and dry before tossing with ingredients. Adding a tablespoon of cornstarch with the spices can also help with crispiness. For a spicy kick, add cayenne pepper. Top with cheese, bacon pieces, sausage crumbles, or chopped scallions for variety.
