Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs Russet potatoes, scrubbed and cubed into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1.5 tbsp Avocado oil
  • 1/2 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 small Bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Dried oregano

Instructions:

  1. Scrub your 1.5 lbs of Russet potatoes and cut them into 1/2 inch cubes. Note: Uniformity is key for even cooking.
  2. Place the cubes in a colander and run cold water over them until the water runs clear.
  3. Dump the potatoes onto a clean kitchen towel and pat them dry. Note: Any leftover water will create steam and prevent crisping.
  4. Set your air fryer to 400°F. Note: Adding food to a hot basket prevents sticking.
  5. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 1.5 tbsp of avocado oil until they look glossy.
  6. Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and oregano. Toss again.
  7. Fold in your diced onion and bell pepper. Note: Adding them now ensures they cook through without burning.
  8. Place the mixture in the basket and cook for 10 minutes. You should hear a steady sizzle.
  9. Open the basket and give it a good shake to flip the potatoes.
  10. Cook for another 10 minutes until the edges are deep brown and crispy.
