mixing bowl
kitchen towel

Ingredients

3 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
0.5 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
1 tsp paprika (optional)

Instructions

Wash and cut the potatoes into evenly sized cubes, about 1 inch.
Pat the potatoes completely dry using a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings until evenly coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
Place the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
Cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning.
Check for crispiness and serve immediately while hot and golden.

Notes

For extra crispiness, make sure potatoes are completely dry before cooking. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow proper airflow. You can customize flavors with garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, or parmesan cheese. Serve immediately for best texture.
