No breakfast or brunch is complete without a side of crispy breakfast potatoes. And the easiest way to make them is in your air fryer! Trust me, you will love this easy recipe for the crispiest potatoes ever.
Effortless Brunch with Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes
We take brunch pretty seriously around here. I just love making a big family breakfast on the weekends and holidays, but I don’t want it to be exhausting and complicated. I mean, it’s the weekend! Things should be easy.
That’s why these air fryer breakfast potatoes are a game-changer. They are lightly seasoned, crispy, and amazingly delicious. They are the perfect match for any brunch dish, like egg casseroles or French toast.
Easy Breakfast Potatoes in the Air Fryer
Making breakfast potatoes in the air fryer is a dream come true. No more splattering oil on the stove or taking up precious oven space. The air fryer makes it so easy, and clean-up is a breeze.
The best part? You don’t need a lot of oil to achieve that crispy texture. The air fryer works its magic with just a tablespoon of olive oil. These potatoes are lighter than traditional ones without sacrificing any flavor.
Simple Ingredients for Flavorful Potatoes
You can either dice your own potatoes (russets work fine) or make it even easier by using packaged diced potatoes. Personally, I love the brand Simply Potatoes. The work is already done for you.
To season the potatoes, all you need are pantry spices: salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and dried parsley. No chopping required! It’s all about convenience without compromising on taste.
Quick and Easy Preparation
Simply place the diced potatoes in a large bowl, then add all the seasonings and a tablespoon of olive oil. Gently toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated. It couldn’t be easier!
How to Cook Them in the Air Fryer
Every air fryer model is a bit different, so it’s always a good idea to consult your air fryer’s guide for cooking tips. However, here’s my foolproof method that works perfectly every time:
- Set the temperature to 400 degrees on your air fryer.
- Place the prepared potatoes inside and cook them for 25 minutes.
- To ensure even cooking and achieve that golden and crispy texture, toss the potatoes every five minutes.
- Serve the potatoes hot and enjoy your crisp, flavorful breakfast!
Perfect Pairings for Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes
The versatility of these breakfast potatoes is what makes them truly amazing. They go well with a variety of breakfast dishes. Here are a few ideas you might want to try:
- Pair them with an easy sausage quiche and some homemade blueberry muffins for a delightful sweet and savory combination.
- If you’re looking for a hearty breakfast, serve the crispy potatoes with a sausage breakfast pot pie. It’s a delicious twist on biscuits and gravy.
- For a lighter option, enjoy the breakfast potatoes with an egg white casserole and a refreshing fruit salad on the side. It’s a perfect balance of flavors.
Once you experience the ease and perfection of making breakfast potatoes in the air fryer, you may never go back to the old way. It’s just so effortless, and the results are consistently fantastic. Enjoy!
