These air fryer home fries are ready in under 30 minutes from start to finish! They are the perfect quick side dish, breakfast, or appetizer. They are seasoned perfectly and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Wash and cut the potatoes into ½-inch pieces and dry them well using a towel or paper towel.
Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl, and add the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and kosher salt.
Mix well until the potatoes are covered with the seasoning. Brush the air fryer basket with a tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the potatoes into the air fryer and cook for 15-18 minutes at 200c (400f). Shaking the basket every 5 minutes.
Serve the home fries as a side dish, savory breakfast, or as a snack with ketchup, ranch, or your favorite dressing.
Notes
Ensure that you cut your potatoes into even pieces so they will bake evenly. Make sure that every piece of potato is about the same thickness and length.
Dip these in your favorite dressing like ketchup, mayonnaise, boom boom sauce, bang bang sauce, ranch, etc.
Soak your potatoes in cold water before baking them. This step makes them crispier. It reduces the amount of starch which makes them crispy and delish!
Make sure to dry out the potatoes with paper towels or a towel to make them crispy.
I highly suggest not overcrowding the air fryer basket, cook it in batches to make them cook properly.
