Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes from the Pot

Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes are evenly seasoned, with a crisp outside and tender inside. They’re like roasted potatoes, but quicker and easier!

The Crispy Breakfast Upgrade You Needed!

I’ve been on a big air fryer kick lately. After falling in love with air fryer potatoes and sweet potatoes, I knew I had to try a breakfast version.

I tested a few different batches and found that smaller potato pieces and the right seasoning mix made all the difference. These turned out to be the crispiest, most flavorful breakfast potatoes I’ve ever made.

They’re great in a breakfast burrito, on the side with eggs and bacon, or tossed into a hash. However you eat them, you’re going to be hooked!

Air Fryer Breakfast Potato Ingredients

  • Gold/yellow potatoes: Choose firm and unblemished for a buttery, creamy texture. Gold potatoes have thin skins and make peeling unnecessary.
  • Olive oil: Super important for the potatoes crispiness.
  • Fine sea salt: Fine salt sticks to the potatoes better.
  • Black pepper: Try this table grind.
  • Paprika: Try smoked paprika for a smokier/deep flavor or try sweet for mildness.
  • Garlic and onion powder: These two add flavor with no chopping required!
  • skippable: Fresh chives and freshly grated Parm for even more flavor!

How To Make Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes

  1. Wash and cut potatoes: Ensure all pieces are even for uniform cooking.
  2. Season potatoes: Don’t skip the oil—it’s key for crispiness!
  3. Heat air fryer: Preheating helps get that crispy texture faster.
  4. Air fry potatoes: Don’t overcrowd the basket to ensure crispiness.
  5. Shake and check: Check at 10 mins for desired crispness, adjusting time as needed.
  6. Check doneness: Potatoes are done when tender with a slightly crisp exterior.

How To Use Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes

  • Breakfast side: Pair with eggs, bacon, or sausage.
  • Burritos or tacos: Add to tortillas with eggs and salsa.
  • Omelet or frittata mix-in: Stir into egg dishes.
  • Meal prep: Use for quick breakfasts throughout the week.
