Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

3 medium-sized potatoes peeled (optional) and diced
1 small red bell pepper diced
1 small green bell pepper diced
1 small onion diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley optional, for garnish

Equipment

Air fryer
Large mixing bowl
Knife and cutting board
Tongs or spatula (for shaking or stirring the potatoes)

Method

Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and peel the potatoes if desired, then cut them into small cubes. Dice the red and green bell peppers, as well as the onion, into small pieces.
Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, bell peppers, and onions. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure it’s hot enough to begin cooking.
Air Fry the Potatoes O’Brien: Place the seasoned potato mixture into the air fryer basket, spreading it out in a single layer. Air fry at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
Serve: Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately as a side dish or snack.

Notes

Overcrowding: To ensure even cooking, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary.
Customization: Add cheese for a cheesy version or toss in some bacon bits for extra flavor.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore the crispiness.
Cooking Variations: You can substitute regular potatoes with sweet potatoes for a different twist. Adjust cooking time if using sweet potatoes as they cook faster.
