Crispy Air Fryer Potatoes
These golden, crispy air fryer potatoes are about to be your new favorite go-to side. With just a handful of pantry spices and a quick 20-minute air fry, they come out perfectly tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside—no flipping or fussing required.
Ingredients
1 lb potatoes, cubed (gold, red, or russet all work)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp lemon pepper
1 tbsp grated parmesan (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 390°F.
Cube potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
In a bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon pepper until evenly coated.
Place seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
Air fry at 390°F for 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Once crispy and golden, transfer to a plate and top with grated parmesan cheese. Serve immediately!
Helpful Tips
Don’t overcrowd the basket — the more space, the crispier the potatoes.
Skin on or off? Leave it on for more texture and fiber!
Want it dairy-free? Skip the parmesan or use nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
Meal prep tip: These reheat well in the air fryer or toaster oven for a few minutes at 375°F.
