  • Bowl
  • Colander
  • Fork

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

Start a medium to large pot with water filled about halfway. Set the heat to high and bring it to a boil. Add a teaspoon or two of salt to the water.

Rinse the potatoes. You can peel them if you want. I never peel them, I like it when the skin gets crispy, and sometimes the skin falls off during cooking and crisps up into a chip. It is awesome.

Cut the potato into large chunks.

Step 2: Boil Them Taters

Boil the potatoes chunks for 4 to 6 minutes until they are fork-tender. Then pour them into a colander to drain. Shake the colander a bit to allow excess water to fall off the potato chunks.

Step 3: Seasoning

Pour the potato chunks into a bowl then drizzle on some oil oive. Then sprinkle on some salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 4: Air Frying Time

Add the seasoned potato chunks to your air fryer basket. Set it to air fryer mode and put the temp to 415F/213C. Set the time for 10 to 12 minutes. Then cook.

You may want to cook them a little longer depending on how golden brown they get.

Step 5: Serve!

Now time to serve up those crispy air fryer potatoes. Enjoy!
