Oh yes 🥔✨ — air fryer potatoes are crispy outside, fluffy inside, and so easy to customize. Here’s a foolproof, perfectly seasoned recipe:

½ tsp onion powder
-
½ tsp salt
-
¼ tsp black pepper
-

Instructions
1. Prep the potatoes
-
Wash and dry potatoes.

3. Air fry

Tips for Extra Crispy Potatoes
-
Dry the potatoes well after washing
-
Don’t overcrowd the basket → air circulation is key
-
Use small cubes or wedges for quicker cooking and more crispiness
-
Toss in seasoning after cooking if you prefer stronger flavor without burning spices
If you want, I can make a variant with cheesy garlic air fryer potatoes — still crispy, but with a gooey cheesy topping that’s irresistible.
