Peel your potatoes and then chop them into ¾-inch pieces.

In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped potatoes and olive oil and toss.

Add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and onion powder into the mixing bowl. Stir until the all potatoes are evenly coated in the seasoning and olive oil.

Grab the greased air fryer basket and place your seasoned potatoes into the basket.

Cook at 400F for 20 minutes. Remove the potatoes halfway through and stir.

Stick a fork through a potato piece to be sure they're cooked all the way through.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Potatoes Thoroughly 💧
Pat cut potatoes completely dry with paper towels before tossing with oil—excess moisture prevents crispiness and creates steam in the air fryer basket.
Don't Skip the Oil Coating 🫒
Use enough olive oil to lightly coat all potato pieces (about 2-3 tablespoons per pound), as this is essential for achieving that golden, crispy exterior.
Shake the Basket Halfway Through ⏱️
Stop cooking at the 10-minute mark and shake the basket vigorously to ensure even browning and prevent sticking on one side.
Uniform Cube Sizing Matters 🔪
Cut potatoes into consistent ½-inch cubes so they cook evenly—larger pieces will be undercooked while smaller ones burn.
Season After Initial Crisping 🧂
Add your garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder during the last 3 minutes of cooking to prevent spices from burning and maintain their vibrant flavors.
