A quick and easy recipe for crispy on the outside, tender on the inside breakfast potatoes with smoky paprika and fresh herbs, perfect for cozy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and peel the potatoes. Dice them into roughly ½-inch cubes.
  2. Soak the diced potatoes in cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry thoroughly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss the dried potatoes with olive oil until lightly coated.
  4. Sprinkle smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Mix gently but thoroughly.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
  6. Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15 minutes, shaking or tossing halfway through.
  7. Check for doneness; potatoes should be golden brown and crispy outside, tender inside. Cook an additional 3-5 minutes if needed.
  8. Remove from the air fryer and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Soak potatoes in cold water to remove starch for crispiness. Dry thoroughly before seasoning. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Shake basket halfway through cooking for even browning. Fresh potatoes work best; frozen potatoes release moisture and become soggy. Preheat air fryer for best results. Variations include adding cayenne for spice or swapping thyme for rosemary or oregano.
