Potatoes and Onions in Air fryer
Potatoes and Onions are a match made in heaven. Air fryer potatoes and onions are so simple to make and delightful with caramelised edges.
Ingredients:
- 2 potatoes or 225 gm. or baby potatoes
- 2 onions or 225 gm.
- 2 tsp. olive oil or lemon juice
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. paprika or cayenne
- ¼ tsp. pepper
- ½ tsp. salt or to taste
- ½ tsp. dry oregano
- 1 tsp. parsley chopped optional
Directions:
- Wash and dry potatoes. Cut them into similar sized cubes about 1”. I leave the skin on for the crunch. It’s a personal choice.
- You can peel the skin off too.
- Slice your onions.
- I cook these vegetables at 180C or 360F. That way they get an even caramelisation on the edges without going overboard. They also cook evenly.
- After chopping them, toss them in olive oil and spices.
- I leave chopped parsley for the end for the fresh taste.
- You may use lemon juice or aquafaba in place of olive oil for zero-oil recipe to help the spices to adhere.
- Your potatoes and onions will still taste good. They will not have a very fried appearance though.
- Preheat air fryer at 180C or 360F for 5 minutes.
- Brush air fryer basket with oil. Place seasoned potatoes and onions in the basket.
- I could do 1 lb. Or 450 gm. Batch at one go.
- Some overlapping is fine.
- Close air fryer basket. Air fry at 180C or 360F for 10-15 minutes. Check after 10 minutes to see the doneness and caramelisation.
- It will depend upon how thick or thin your pieces are. Remember to shake the air fryer basket every 5 minutes during air frying cycle for even cooking.
- Your onions and potatoes will look nice and crispy. They taste delicious too.
- Check for doneness by eating one potato cube. They will be cooked inside and crispy on the edges.
- Take them out. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy.
