Perfectly crispy on the outside potatoes are one of my favorite breakfast recipes, but the oven version takes so long that I do not make it as an every day breakfast.

This recipe uses a fraction of the oil I normally would use, and is insanely crispy with barely any work!

Honestly wondering how I lived without the air fryer before.

These air fryer mushrooms are another recipe that I am now obsessed with!

We have also made frozen hash browns in the air fryer before and now it’s the only way we will make them.

If you are craving fast food, air fryer frozen french fries will become your new obsession.

So crispy and so much less oil used!

How to make breakfast potatoes in the air fryer

First, dice up a large sweet potato, two russet potatoes, and a yellow onion.

Aim for all the pieces (including the onion) to be around the same size for even cooking.

Pieces that are too small may burn more easily.

Toss the diced up potatoes and onion with two tablespoons of olive oil, and the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.

These are the perfect spices for bringing out the best flavors in the hash!

Transfer the potatoes to the air fryer basket and spread out into an even layer.

Turn the air fryer to 400 degrees, and set the timer for 20 minutes.

Every 5 – 10 minutes, check on the potatoes and stir/spray with olive oil spray if they look a little dry.

Olive oil spray is a must have when cooking with an air fryer!

I usually do this maybe once or twice.

You really barely need any oil at all, I just prefer the texture with it!

Air fryers can fry without any oil, but in my opinion, a tiny bit is necessary for the texture we are going for.

Cook the potatoes for 20 – 30 minutes, until crispy on all sides.

Watch them closely towards the end of cook time, as I have found that the air fryer can fast go from almost cooked to a little too crispy really fast once the food is almost done.

I ate this for breakfast every day this week with eggs and it was so filling and tasted like I was eating out every day!

One batch will make around 4 – 5 generous servings.

To reheat any leftovers, you can use the air fryer or just stick it on a sheet in the oven for a few minutes!

This would be delicious in breakfast burritos too.

Just meal prep some scrambled eggs and wrap them up in a tortilla with this hash and some cheese for easy and yummy week day breakfasts!

Crispy, amazing air fryer breakfast potatoes.

I have a feeling this is going to be on a regular breakfast rotation in our house!

Honestly, I may never go back to making them in the oven!

I just can’t get over how very easy this was and how little effort it required from me.

It’s amazing how easy the air fryer is to use, and I love how simple it is to clean!

If you’re like me and wasn’t sure if you needed an air fryer, don’t put it off.

My only regret is not getting one sooner!
