Equipment
- air fryer
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 1 Yellow Onion
- 1 Green Bell Pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes and dice them into roughly 1/2-inch cubes — no need to peel them, the skin adds great texture and flavor. Dice the yellow onion and green bell pepper into similar-sized pieces and set aside.
- Place the diced potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, add a splash of water, and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 3 to 4 minutes until the potatoes are just barely tender but not soft. This ensures fluffy insides and extra-crispy edges in the air fryer.
- Drain any excess water and pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel.
- In a large bowl, toss the par-cooked potatoes, diced onion, and green bell pepper with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until everything is evenly coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F. Spread the seasoned potatoes and vegetables into the air fryer basket in as even a layer as possible. Cook for 18 to 22 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 to 6 minutes so all sides get golden and crispy.
- During the last 5 minutes of cooking, increase the temperature to 400°F to get those irresistible crispy edges and deep golden color.
- Transfer the home fries to a serving plate, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and taste for seasoning. Add an extra pinch of salt if needed and serve hot.
