Nonstick cooking spray
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
(Optional: any additional herbs or spices you love)
InstructionsPrep the Potatoes:
Drain and rinse your canned potatoes. Pat them dry with a paper towel to help them crisp up better in the air fryer.
Season:
Add your potatoes to a bowl or like I did, in the air fryer on paper made for the air fryer (one less step and bowl to clean). Spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray, then sprinkle on your seasonings. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Air Fry:
Place the potatoes in your air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Air fry at 400°F for 15–20 minutes, shaking halfway through. Cook until golden and crispy!
Serve:
Enjoy as a delicious side to grilled chicken, lean turkey burgers, or your favorite E-friendly main dish.
Tips & VariationsAdd Some Heat: Toss in cayenne or red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
Herby Vibes: Try adding rosemary, thyme, or parsley.
Extra Crispy? Let the potatoes sit out for a few minutes after rinsing to dry even more thoroughly.
