Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes
I’m a sucker for a good diner-styled breakfast. A huge platter of eggs, bacon, and potatoes hits the spot every time. My favourite part is the crispy potatoes (also known as home fries) – in my opinion, they are the highlight of the meal and nothing beats it. They’re crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. However, since moving, I haven’t found a diner within walking distance so I’ve been making my own crispy breakfast potatoes at home.
I preferred using my air fryer to make breakfast potatoes since it’s a pretty hands off process. No need to worry about flipping or moving them. You just pop it into the air fryer and with a shake or two, they come out perfect! The air fryer definitely makes breakfast easier as it’s one less thing that needs your full attention in the kitchen. So here’s how you make crispy breakfast potatoes in the air fryer.
