Instructions

- Season the Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, combine potatoes, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Cut potatoes evenly for consistent crispiness.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket—cook in batches if needed.
Add grated cheese in the last 2 minutes for cheesy breakfast potatoes.
Customize the seasoning with herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
