Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Leave the skins on for extra fiber and nutrients.
Cut the potatoes into even-sized chunks, about 1-inch thick. Try to keep the pieces uniform for even cooking.
Place the potato chunks in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in making them crispier.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Make sure they are thoroughly dry before proceeding to the next step.
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the seasoning blend.
Add the dried potato chunks to the seasoning mixture and toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) for about 3-5 minutes.
Arrange the seasoned potato chunks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
Air fry the potatoes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
Check for doneness, the potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Carefully remove the potatoes from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately for the best crispiness.
