Air Fryer Tinned Potatoes

Ingredients

1 can of whole tinned (canned) potatoes (drained and rinsed)
1–2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: smoked paprika, dried herbs, Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley

Directions

Open the can and pour the potatoes into a colander. Rinse well under cold water to remove excess starch and brine flavor. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Dry potatoes = crispier results.

Place the potatoes in a mixing bowl. Add oil or butter, then sprinkle on your chosen seasonings. Toss gently to coat without breaking them apart.

Transfer to your air fryer basket in a single layer (avoid overcrowding). Set the temperature to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even browning. Look for deep golden edges and soft, fluffy centers.

Enjoy them hot, straight from the basket. Garnish with fresh parsley, grated cheese, or your favorite dipping sauce. They’re perfect with sour cream, ketchup, aioli, or even ranch.
