Air fryer breakfast potatoes are a deliciously crispy version of home fries. This breakfast classic is perfect with eggs and bacon.
One of my breakfast favorites is definitely home fries.
We’re talking crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, perfectly seasoned pieces of potatoes.
Delish!
They pair perfectly with all the breakfast proteins.
And with the air fryer breakfast potatoes are easy to make at home!
Ingredients
To make these, you’ll need:
- Potatoes– Medium russet potatoes
- Olive oil
- Spices– Salt and pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder
How to Make
To make breakfast potatoes in your air fryer, start by washing and peeling the potatoes.
Then pat them dry with paper towels.
After you’ve washed and dried the potatoes, cut the potatoes into 1″ pieces and put them in a mixing bowl.
Sprinkle on the remaining ingredients and then gently toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes out in the basket of your air fryer in an even layer.
Cook at 400° for 15-16 minutes, opening the basket and giving the potatoes a shake halfway through the cook time.
After 15 minutes, check for doneness.
If the potatoes are fork tender and crispy outside, they are ready to serve.
If not, continue cooking in 2 minute increments until they are fork tender.
Serving suggestions
Serve them as a side to other breakfast favorites like scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, etc.
You could also pile on toppings and enjoy them loaded style.
Think loaded breakfast fries! Yum!
Storing leftovers
Store leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the air fryer or in a hot oven on a baking sheet until warmed through.
