HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER BREAKFAST POTATOES, STEP BY STEP:

- Then, place the potatoes in a bowl with the olive oil, seasoned salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
- Toss the potatoes until they are coated well..
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for about 5 minutes. Spray the basket of the air fryer with olive oil spray, add the potatoes in a single layer and cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes.
- Remove crispy potatoes from the air fryer and garnish with parsley if desired, serve immediately.
DO I HAVE TO PREHEAT MY AIR FRYER?
Yes. Preheat your Air Fryer to 400F for 5 minutes. This is like preheating the oven, you will want to get your air fryer preheated as well to ensure that these cook properly.
WHAT OTHER SEASONINGS CAN I USE?
If you want to change up the recipe, you can. Look for other flavors to add or try with your breakfast potatoes, you can really season these with anything, we like some spice with cayenne pepper, but use what you like best!
DO I HAVE TO USE BABY YUKON POTATOES?
While I love using baby Yukon Gold potatoes for this recipe as they are smaller and you can cut them quicker but you can certainly use other potatoes.
We have tried regular yukon potatoes as well as peeled russet potatoes for this recipe and they both turn out great.
HOW TO STORE:
Store your leftover crispy Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes in the refrigerator in a container for up to 5 days. Reheat them by placing them back in the Air Fryer until they’re warmed through again.
Skip the microwave because they’ll just end up soggy instead of crispy.
Want to keep them longer? Once you’ve cooked them and they’ve cooled, toss them in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.
Defrost in the refrigerator overnight until thawed and then reheat as stated above.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- You can use other potatoes than Baby Yukon’s, see my suggestions above.
- This can be frozen, see my tips above.
- This recipe can be double or tripled to serve more, but you’ll need to work in batches.
- You can swap out the seasonings to make other flavored breakfast potatoes.
- Be sure to preheat your Air Fryer so the potatoes turn out perfect.
- Reheat your leftovers right back in the Air Fryer so they have the perfect texture again.
- Make sure your potatoes are relatively similar in size so they cook evenly.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket or the potatoes won’t cook evenly.
