Notes for our Easy Air Fryer Breakfast Recipe

  • You don’t have to peel or soak these potatoes to get an excellent result, just season them up and toss them in the air fryer.
  • Try not to overcrowd your air fryer. You want the potato pieces evenly spread out in a single layer. Cook in batches if needed.
  • Don’t forget to shake/stir the potatoes halfway through, it’s helps to cook them evenly and get all the sides a little crispy.
