Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Start by washing and peeling the Russet potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Place the potato cubes in a large bowl of cold water. Soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, ensuring a crispier texture.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to prevent steaming in the air fryer.
Transfer the dried potato cubes to a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
Cook the potatoes in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure that the potatoes cook evenly on all sides.
Check the potatoes after 20 minutes for doneness. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender on the inside. If necessary, continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
Once done, remove the potatoes from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for added flavor and color.
