Easy Air Fryer Potatoes and Onions Recipe
These air fryer potatoes and onions are a family favorite! They’re super easy to make and can be served for breakfast, lunch, or as a tasty side dish. The air fryer helps make the potatoes crispy outside and soft inside, while the onions turn golden brown and slightly sweet.
Why Use an Air Fryer?
-
Fast cooking: Done in just 12–15 minutes. Pan-frying takes longer and uses more oil.
-
Less mess: No oil splashes on your stove. Just clean the air fryer basket when done.
-
Tasty and crispy: Just as delicious as pan-fried, with fewer calories.
Ingredients:
-
2 russet potatoes, cut into cubes
-
2 medium sweet onions (or yellow onions), chopped
-
Olive oil (or any cooking oil you like)
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
-
Garlic powder
-
Your favorite seasoning (like Italian seasoning)
-
1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary (optional, to taste)
Instructions:
-
Cut the veggies:
Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and slice onions into ¼-inch pieces. -
Mix everything:
In a bowl, mix potatoes, onions, oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and your favorite seasonings. -
Preheat the air fryer:
Set it to 375°F (190°C) and let it heat up for 3–5 minutes. -
Add to the basket:
Place the potatoes and onions in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray. -
Cook:
Air fry for 12–15 minutes. Shake or stir every 5 minutes to cook evenly. -
Add rosemary (optional):
Add chopped rosemary in the last 5 minutes of cooking. -
Done:
Cook until golden, crispy, and soft inside. Serve hot!
Tips & Tricks:
-
Don’t crowd the basket: If the basket is too full, the food may steam instead of getting crispy.
-
Try new flavors: Add oregano, chili flakes, or a pinch of brown sugar for extra taste.
-
Cook a full meal: Add chicken, salmon, or steak bites with potatoes and onions for a full meal. Flip everything halfway through.
What to Serve With:
Serve with burgers, grilled meats, shrimp, or enjoy on their own with your favorite dip or sauce. Try them with homemade chipotle sauce or copycat Chick-fil-A sauce!
How to Store:
-
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days.
-

-
Leftovers can be used in:
-
Rice dishes
-
Soups
-
Curries

Stuffed bread fillings
