1.5lbsrusset potato, cut into 1 inch cubesabout 2 medium-sized potato
2tspOlive oil
¾tspsalt
½ tspgarlic powder
½ tsppaprika
Instructions
Fill water halfway in a medium pot. Heat the water.
Peel and cut the potatoes into 1" cubes.
When water comes to a boil, add the potatoes.
Boil potatoes for 8-9 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer at 400 degrees F for 8-9 minutes (while the potatoes are parboiling).
Drain the potatoes with the colander.
Add the potatoes into a bowl. Add olive oil, salt, garlic and paprika seasoning.
Gently toss the potatoes to mix the seasoning. The softened potatoes will crumble a bit and create a rough texture.
Add the potatoes to the air fryer. Air fry at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes. Give the potatoes a shake halfway through, or use a spatula to flip the potatoes over.
Notes
Before cooking, make sure the air fryer is clean with no grease residue.
I do not recommend storing the potatoes for later. They'll be too dry when reheated.
It's okay if the potatoes are stacked on top of each other in the basket, just make sure to check them halfway through cooking and give them an even shake. If they're stuck to the basket, use a spatula to flip them over.
Once done, take the potatoes out immediately, leaving them in the basket will result in steaming.
