Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside - who can resist perfectly golden, addictively crunchy air fryer potato cubes? This is a fantastic recipe to try if you're looking for a quick and easy side dish that you can serve with just about anything.
Peel potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes, and place into a bowl of cold water to soak for 10 minutes.
Preheat air fryer to 360°F/180°C.
Drain potatoes and pat dry. Place in a large bowl, drizzle with oil, add the salt, and toss to coat.
Place potato cubes in air fryer and cook at 360°F/180°C for 20 minutes, shaking the basket to redistribute the potato cubes 1 or 2 times during the cooking time [Note 2].
The potato cubes should be golden brown and crispy. Air fry for an additional 5 minutes if required.
Notes
Choose a roasting variety, such as russet potatoes, Yukon Gold, Sebago, Maris Piper, Agria, or another red, yellow or golden variety.
Shake the basket to redistribute the potatoes so they cook easily, or use tongs to quickly flip them if you have a tray type air fryer.
