Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized cubes, about 1 inch each to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato cubes in a large bowl of water and let them soak for 5-10 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving a crispier texture.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Removing excess moisture is crucial for crispiness.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasonings.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Arrange the seasoned potato cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you might need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding, which prevents proper crisping.
Air fry the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, then shake the basket or flip the potatoes to ensure even cooking. Continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy to your liking.
Once done, remove the potatoes from the air fryer and place them on a serving plate. Serve hot as a delicious side dish or snack.
