Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: Start by peeling the russet potatoes and cutting them into 1-inch cubes. Rinse the cubed potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then drain and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.

    Season the Cubes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss well until all potato cubes are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

      Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This step helps achieve maximum crispiness.

        Air Fry the Potatoes: Place the seasoned potato cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If necessary, do this in batches to avoid overcrowding. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking. Cook until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside.

          Serve: Once done, carefully remove the crispy garlic potato cubes from the air fryer. Transfer them to a serving plate and sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and flavor. Serve hot as a side dish or a delicious snack!
