Ingredients and Substitutions

This easy recipe can really be made as simply or as elaborate as you wish. I like to make them very simply but below are some recipe variations for you to try.

Potatoes. You can honestly use any potato you want for this recipe but I always tend to use floury potatoes as they cook better in my opinion. They become crisp and golden on the outside while staying creamy and fluffy on the inside. Russet potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes are good options. Onion. Other vegetables like bell peppers or fresh garlic can also be added. Extra virgin olive oil. Vegetable oils like avocado oil is a good substitute. Seasonings: I used salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Smoked paprika, onion powder, chili powder, red pepper flakes, etc. can all be used. You could also toss the air fried potatoes with minced garlic and Parmesan cheese for a delicious garlic parm version.

How to make breakfast potatoes in the air fryer

Can I make this ahead?

Although this air fryer breakfast potato recipe is definitely best served immediately after serving, leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. I would suggest reheating them in the air fryer until crisp before serving. If you’d like to meal prep this ahead for a breakfast party, cook the potatoes for 20 minutes then transfer to a sheet pan, allow to cool and cover with plastic wrap. Keep in the refrigerator overnight and finish the cooking right before serving.
