Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs potatoes (600 grams)
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 ½ tbsp olive oil
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika

Instructions
 

  • Wash the potatoes and cut them into 2 cm cubes (about ¾ inch) so they cook evenly.
  • Place the diced potatoes in a bowl, add olive oil, salt, pepper, and any seasoning you like, then mix well.
  • Preheat the air fryer, then add the potatoes to the basket in a single layer. Cook at 195°C (383°F) for 15 minutes, shaking the basket once halfway through.
  • After 15 minutes, add the sliced onions to the basket and gently mix them with the potatoes.
  • Continue cooking for another 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender inside and lightly crisp on the outside, and the onions are soft and lightly browned.

Notes

  • Cut the potatoes into similar sizes so they cook evenly.
  • Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. If you’re making a larger batch, cooking in two rounds gives better results.
  • Shake or stir halfway through cooking.
  • Adjust seasoning once cooking is finished.
