Air Fryer Crispy Breakfast Potatoes with Garlic

These crispy breakfast potatoes are the perfect way to start your day. They're made with just a few simple ingredients and can be cooked in the air fryer in just 15 minutes. The potatoes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they're seasoned with garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as eggs, bacon, or salsa.

I first had these potatoes at a breakfast spot in Denver. I was immediately hooked. The potatoes were so crispy and flavorful, and they were the perfect complement to my eggs and bacon. I asked the chef for the recipe, and he was kind enough to share it with me. I've been making these potatoes ever since, and they're always a hit with my family and friends.

Prep time: 10 | Cook time: 20 | Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Toss the potatoes with the olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
4. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
5. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking.
6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Why It Works

• The high heat of the air fryer helps to create a crispy exterior on the potatoes.
• The olive oil helps to keep the potatoes from sticking to the basket.
• The garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper add flavor to the potatoes.
• Shaking the basket halfway through cooking helps to ensure that the potatoes cook evenly.
