Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 8 ounces diced potatoes (cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for that perfect crisp)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or seasoning of choice for flavor)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (to enhance the taste)
  • Air-fryer safe cooking spray (optional, for extra non-stick assurance)

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula or spoon
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes - Start by washing and peeling your potatoes if desired. Cut them into 1/2-inch cubes to ensure they cook evenly in the air fryer.
  2. Step 2: Season the Potatoes - In a mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, olive oil, dried thyme (or your seasoning of choice), and salt. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer - Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect, crispy exterior.
  4. Step 4: Air Fry the Potatoes - Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray if desired. Place the seasoned potato cubes in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded for optimal crispiness.
  5. Step 5: Cook and Shake - Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. You want them to be golden brown and crispy.
  6. Step 6: Serve and Enjoy - Once cooked, carefully remove the potatoes from the air fryer, and serve them hot. Enjoy them as a side dish or toss them into your favorite recipe.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, try using rosemary or garlic powder in place of thyme.
  • If you want a healthier option, substitute olive oil with avocado oil.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
