The easiest way to make Breakfast Potatoes is in your air fryer! You will love this easy recipe for the crispiest potatoes ever.
No breakfast or brunch is complete without a side of crispy breakfast potatoes. You will love this easy side dish made so easy by using your air fryer.
We take brunch pretty seriously around here. I love to make a big family breakfast on the weekends and holidays, but I don’t want it to be exhausting and complicated. I mean, it’s the weekend! Things should be easy.
My Favorite Kitchen Tools To Make This Recipe
From trusty pots and pans to handy gadgets, I’ve curated a list of products I use and love.
I love egg casseroles and French toast dishes, but they’re not complete without a side dish, and these breakfast potatoes are the perfect match. They’re lightly seasoned, crispy, and amazingly delicious.
Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes
Ingredients
You can dice your own (russets work fine) or do what I do and buy packaged diced potatoes. I love the Simply Potatoes brand—the work is already done.
I like to season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and dried parsley. No chopping required – all pantry spices to make things easy.
You only need one tablespoon of olive oil to cook the potatoes. That’s way less than what you’d need if you cooked them on the stove or roasted them in the oven.
Quick and Easy to Prep
The easiest way to prep the potatoes is to place them in a large bowl and add the seasonings and olive oil. Lightly toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
How to Cook Them in the Air Fryer
Always consult your air fryer’s guide for cooking tips. Every model is a little different, but this is how I do it and it works perfectly every time:
- Set the temperature to 400 degrees on the air fryer.
- Place the prepared potatoes inside and cook them for 25 minutes.
- For the best results, toss the potatoes every five minutes or so. This will ensure they cook evenly and get golden and crispy on all sides.
- Serve them hot from the air fryer.
