Crispy Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes with Herbs
These breakfast potatoes are the perfect way to start your day. They're crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and full of flavor. The rosemary and thyme add a touch of herbaceousness that complements the potatoes perfectly. Plus, they're made in the air fryer, so they're healthier than traditional fried potatoes.
To make these potatoes, simply cut some russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, toss them with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper, and air fry them at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes, or until they're golden brown and crispy.
I've always loved breakfast potatoes. They're the perfect way to start your day. But I've never been a fan of how they're traditionally made. Fried potatoes are often greasy and unhealthy. And baked potatoes are often dry and bland.
So I set out to create a breakfast potato that was crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and full of flavor. And I think I've finally succeeded with this recipe for Crispy Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes with Herbs.
The key to this recipe is the air fryer. Air fryers circulate hot air around food, which cooks it evenly and quickly. This results in potatoes that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. And because the potatoes are cooked in the air fryer, they're much healthier than traditional fried potatoes.
