Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, ensuring all the pieces are well-coated.
Add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir until the potatoes are evenly covered with the seasonings.
Spread the seasoned potato cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
Air fry the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
Check for doneness by piercing a potato cube with a fork. They should be tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Cook for a few more minutes if necessary.
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor before serving.
