Air Fryer breakfast potatoes are an easy air fryer recipe that is ready in 15-20 minutes! These crispy breakfast potatoes combine simple ingredients and are a great side dish with their crispy exterior and tender, fluffy interior.
I will serve these delicious air fryer breakfast potatoes with ketchup, sour cream, hot sauce or topped with shredded cheese and crisp, crumbled bacon. Air-fried potatoes are perfect for serving with a sunny-side-up egg, sous vide egg bites, french toast sticks, avocado toast or other Sunday brunch items.

🥔 Ingredient notes:
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika (or chili powder)

🔄 Substitutions
Switch out the russet potatoes for Yukon gold potatoes, new red potatoes or sweet potatoes. My recipe calls for olive oil but canola oil or vegetable oil can also be substituted.
↔️ Variations
Add another layer of flavor to your air fryer home fries by adding a few diced bell peppers, diced sweet onions, or even a handful of diced red onions. Just be sure to add another tablespoon of oil to the pepper/onion/potato mixture and a sprinkle more of the seasoning blend.
