Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes

These mouth watering air fryer breakfast potatoes are tender, with just enough crispness! They're just as good as pan-fried potatoes (better, in fact!) The best thing about this recipe is that it is done in under 30 minutes, with only 10 minutes of hands on time.

  • Put diced potatoes in a large bowl.

  • Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, pepper, and salt. Stir until all the potatoes are well coated with spices.

  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • I used the Ninja Foodie Air Fryer Toaster Oven. Remember that all air fryers can be a little different—so make sure to cook the potatoes until they are tender yet also crispy!
  • The pepper and smoked paprika give these potatoes just a slight kick. If you are making these for kids who don't like spice, you might want to cut these amounts in half.
  • You can cut the potatoes bigger or smaller than I did, you just may have to adjust the cooking time slightly.
  • You can leave the skins on the potatoes or peel them—it is up to you! I did a mixture of both.
  • If you want air fryer breakfast potatoes and onions, you can definitely add onions! Just slice them up and put them with the potatoes.
