Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1. Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water and scrub off any dirt with a brush. For firm-cooking varieties with thin skin, peeling is not necessary as the skin becomes very crispy later. Cut the potatoes into uniform cubes with a side length of 1.5 to 2 cm. Uniform sizes ensure even cooking results.
  2. 2. Place the potato cubes in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and mix well until every cube is thinly coated with oil. In a small bowl, mix paprika powder, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potatoes and shake the bowl vigorously so that all sides are evenly seasoned.
  3. 3. Preheat your air fryer to 200 °C. This helps the potatoes form a crust immediately and prevents them from sticking to the bottom. Place the seasoned potato cubes into the basket. Spread them out in a loose, single layer as much as possible. An overloaded basket disrupts air circulation and results in soft instead of crispy cubes.
  4. 4. Slide the basket into the preheated air fryer. Cook the potato cubes for 10 minutes at 200 °C. During this time, the starch on the surface begins to gelatinize and the first golden color appears.
  5. 5. Remove the basket after 10 minutes. Shake it vigorously to turn the cubes. This exposes all sides to the hot air. This step is crucial for an evenly golden-brown and crispy crust all around.
  6. 6. Slide the basket back into the device. Cook the potato cubes for another 8 to 10 minutes at 200 °C. The exact time depends on the size of the cubes and the power of your device. They are perfect when they are rich golden brown and make a hollow, clacking sound when shaken.
  7. 7. The stated time is a guideline. Compact air fryer models may need 1-2 minutes less, while large drawer or oven-style devices may need 2-3 minutes longer when fully loaded. Check the browning level after a total of 18 minutes and adjust the remaining time individually.
  8. 8. Remove the finished, crispy potato cubes from the air fryer. Taste them and add a little more salt if needed. Serve immediately while they are hot and at their crispiest. They pair perfectly as a side dish with meat and fish, in bowls, or simply on their own with a delicious dip.
