Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 1 ½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered

Seasoning & Oil

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray (for air fryer basket)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking the potatoes evenly.
  2. Season the potatoes: Place the quartered Yukon Gold potatoes in a large bowl. Add olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together thoroughly so that each potato piece is evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
  3. Arrange in air fryer basket: Transfer the seasoned potatoes to the air fryer basket in a single layer to allow even cooking and crisping. If necessary, cook in two batches to avoid overcrowding.
  4. Cook and shake: Cook the potatoes for 20-25 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to promote even crisping on all sides.
  5. Serve and season to taste: Remove the potatoes from the air fryer, taste, and add more salt if desired. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamy interior and crispy exterior.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed to ensure crispiness.
  • Shaking the basket halfway through cooking is key for even browning.
  • Adjust seasoning to your taste after cooking.
  • These potatoes are best served fresh and hot.
