👩‍🍳 How to make 🥔 Air Fryer Potato Cubes?

1️⃣ Prep the potatoes: Peel and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Try to make them all about the same size so they cook evenly.

2️⃣ Season the cubes: Put the potatoes in a big mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss gently. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss again until every cube is coated.

3️⃣ Preheat the air fryer: Turn your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. Preheating helps make the potatoes extra crispy.

4️⃣ Cook in batches if needed: Place the potato cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd them.

5️⃣ Air fry the potatoes: Cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking or tossing halfway through. This makes sure they crisp up on all sides.

6️⃣ Check for doneness: The potatoes should be golden brown outside and soft inside. If you want them extra crispy, cook for another 2–3 minutes.

7️⃣ Serve: Put the cubes on a plate, sprinkle chopped parsley on top if you like, and enjoy while hot!

🗒️ Notes

• For extra flavor, try adding rosemary 🌿 or thyme.
• If you like spicy, sprinkle some chili powder 🌶️ before cooking.
• Make sure the potatoes are dry before adding oil, so they crisp up better.

🥡 How to Store Leftovers?

Store leftover potato cubes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5–7 minutes until crispy. Avoid the microwave if you want to keep them crunchy!
