Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes

How to cook breakfast potatoes in the air fryer.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb russet potatoes [Note 1]
  • 3 tablespoons light olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  • Peel the potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes, and place into a bowl of cold water to soak for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat air fryer to 360°F/180°C.
  • Drain the potatoes and pat them dry. Place in a large bowl, drizzle with oil, add the salt, and toss to coat.
  • Place the breakfast potatoes in the air fryer and cook at 360°F/180°C for 20 minutes, shaking the basket to redistribute the potato cubes 1 or 2 times during the cooking time [Note 2].
  • The potato cubes should be golden brown and crispy. Air fry for an additional 5 minutes if required.

Notes

  1. Choose a roasting variety, such as russet potatoes, Yukon Gold, Sebago, Maris Piper, Agria, or another red, yellow or golden variety.
  2. Shake the basket to redistribute the potatoes so they cook easily, or use tongs to quickly flip them if you have a tray type air fryer.
