Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes with Garlic

Crispy, golden-brown breakfast potatoes are a classic for a reason. They're easy to make, and they're the perfect way to start your day. This recipe uses an air fryer to get the potatoes crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The garlic adds a savory flavor that pairs perfectly with the potatoes. Best of all, breakfast potatoes are a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings, such as eggs, bacon, cheese, or salsa.

The history of breakfast potatoes is a long and winding one. It is believed that the first breakfast potatoes were made by Native Americans. They would often boil or roast potatoes and then add them to their stews or soups. Over time, breakfast potatoes became a popular dish in Europe and eventually made their way to the United States. Today, breakfast potatoes are a staple of the American breakfast table.
