Ingredients

• 1½ lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and diced into ½-inch cubes
  
  

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
  
  

• 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
  
  

• 1½ teaspoons onion powder
  
  

• 1½ teaspoons smoked paprika
  
  

• 1½ teaspoons salt
  
  

• ½ teaspoon black pepper
  
  

• Fresh chopped parsley for topping (optional)
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.

2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dry the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Dice them into ½-inch cubes, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
   
   

3. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
   
   

4. Cook the Potatoes: Transfer the seasoned potatoes to the air fryer basket in a single layer. It's important not to overcrowd the basket to ensure proper crisping.
   
   

5. Air Fry: Air fry the potatoes at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, pause the air fryer and shake the basket to ensure even cooking.
   
   

6. Optional Broiling: For extra crispiness, if your air fryer has a broil function, you can broil the potatoes for an additional 2–3 minutes. Alternatively, increase the temperature to 450°F (232°C) and broil for a few minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
   
   

7. Serve: Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately as a delicious side to your favorite breakfast dishes.
