Instructions
 

  • Cut the potatoes into big cubes with their skins on. One vertical cut, one horizontal cut, and a cut from sideways.
  • In a glass bowl, add oil, salt, black pepper powder, oregano, and red chili flakes. Mix well.
  • Then add the potatoes and swirl them with your hand so that the mixture is applied equally on all sides of the potatoes.
  • Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes, and then arrange the potatoes in the basket.
  • Set the temperature to 380F (195C) and cook the potatoes for 10 minutes. Flip them and again cook the potatoes for 10 minutes till they are tender and brown.
  • Your air fryer cubed potatoes are ready.

Notes

  • Leaving the skin on is imperative: I say this because the skin is what makes these potatoes so crispy after being cooked. Peeling the skin off beforehand will greatly impact the texture and the flavor, and it will not be the same.
  • Add garlic powder: I tried making this recipe with both garlic powder and without, and the version with no garlic powder is the one I prefer. But everyone's taste senses are different, so if you want to, you can add it (in small quantities).
  • Don't overstuff the air fryer: If you want the potatoes to come out as perfectly as they can, level some breathing room between the potatoes when placing them in the air fryer. Cook them in batches if necessary.
 
How to store:
In the fridge: I don't usually store them in the refrigerator because they get soggy and their crispiness doesn't recover even after air-frying again. Although, the leftover potatoes can be stored for almost 2 days.
Meal Prep: Cut the potatoes into cubes and engulf them in the oregano and red chili flakes mixture. You can then store it in the fridge for the whole week and cook the cubed potatoes in air fryer when you're ready.
