Air Fryer Potatoes
You can enjoy the delicious taste of crispy potatoes in a healthy way that's perfect for your diet by using an air fryer.
Ingredients
- Potatoes: 2 medium-sized, peeled and cut into thick sticks or wedges
- Olive Oil: 1 teaspoon
- Paprika: ½ teaspoon
- Garlic Powder: ¼ teaspoon
- Salt: a pinch
- Black Pepper: a pinch
- Dried Herbs: to taste Oregano / optional
Instructions
- Wash the potato sticks or wedges well with cold water to remove excess starch.
- Dry the potatoes completely using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is important for getting crispy potatoes.
- Place the dried potatoes in a large bowl.
- Add the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and dried herbs. Toss well until the potatoes are evenly coated with the spices and oil.
- Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 3-5 minutes.
- Arrange the potato sticks or wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer as much as possible.
- Avoid overcrowding the basket so the potatoes cook evenly and become crispy. If you have a large quantity, cook them in batches.
- Set the timer for 15-20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, open the air fryer and gently shake the basket or flip the potatoes with tongs to ensure they brown on all sides.
- If you prefer crispier potatoes, you can add a few extra minutes of cooking time, keeping a close eye on them.
- Remove the healthy potatoes from the air fryer and sprinkle with a little more salt if needed.
- Serve them hot as a healthy snack or a side dish.
