You don’t have to stick to breakfast, you can eat these potatoes anytime just like my southern fried potatoes! For dinner, these potatoes would go great with steak, chicken, or fish. You’ve gotta try these along side my fried cabbage with sausage and peppers, you won’t be disappointed.

Q&A:

Equipment Needed:

• Air Fryer
• Knife
• Tongs

Ingredients:

• Russet Potatoes - Mine were medium sized
• Olive oil - Avocado oil works great too.
• Salt
• Ground black pepper
• Garlic powder
• Smoked paprika - Regular paprika works fine too.

Instructions:

1. Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F.

2. While the air fryer is heating up, peel and rinse the potatoes, then cut into 1 inch cubes or chunks.

3. In a medium bowl, add the potatoes, olive oil, pepper, salt, smoked paprika and garlic powder and stir until the potatoes are coated.

4. Add potatoes into the air fryer basket and air fry for 12-15 minutes. Be sure to check on them after 7 minutes to check for doneness and to give the basket a little shake. The potatoes are done when they are golden brown and crispy.

Storing and Reheating:

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• Reheat potatoes in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 1 to 2 minutes or until warm throughout.

Pro Tips:

• Be sure to preheat your air fryer. If you don’t have a preheat option, then heat your air fryer for 2-3 minutes before putting the potatoes in.
• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer. Cook in batches if needed.
• Check on the potatoes halfway through the cooking process to check for doneness.
• The air fryer model I used in this recipe was my Instant Vortex Plus 6 quart air fryer. Cooking times may vary depending on your model of air fryer.
