Ingredients
Method
- Follow these step-by-step instructions to make your crispy air-fried potatoes:
- Wash and Cut the Potatoes: Start by washing the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Then, chop them into evenly-sized cubes (about 1-2 inches). This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
- Soak Them (Optional): For an extra crispy texture, soak the potato cubes in cold water for 30 minutes. This step is optional, but it makes a difference!
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to preheat at 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This helps create a perfect initial crisp when you put the potatoes in.
- Season the Potatoes: Drain and pat dry the potatoes. In a large bowl, mix the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until all the cubes are evenly coated.
- Air Fry the Potatoes: Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches if you're making a larger quantity. Cook for 15 minutes, shake the basket halfway through.
- Check for Doneness: After 15 minutes, check if the potatoes are crispy and golden. If they're not quite there, continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes, keeping an eye on them to avoid burning.
- Garnish and Serve: Once done, transfer the potatoes to a serving dish, sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy your delicious crispy air-fried potatoes!

Notes
Here are some extra notes to enhance your cooking experience:
Feel free to experiment with different spices based on your flavor preferences.
For a healthier version, omit the oil or use a light spray instead.
Try parmesan cheese for an extra cheesy flavor.
This recipe can easily be doubled; just ensure to work in batches as needed for even cooking.
Leftover potatoes can be reheated in the air fryer for about 5-7 minutes at 400°F for that fresh-out-of-the-fryer taste.
