Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 to 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh herbs rosemary, thyme, or parsley
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Pinch of paprika
  • Lemon juice optional
  • Grated Parmesan cheese optional

Equipment

  • air fryer
  • Large bowl
  • knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • Serving bowl

Method
 

  1. Wash and scrub potatoes thoroughly. Cut into uniform 1-inch cubes.
  2. Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel. Slice into roughly equal pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, toss potatoes and mushrooms with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped herbs (if using), salt, pepper, and paprika. Ensure everything is evenly coated.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Place the potato and mushroom mixture in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary.
  6. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, flipping or shaking the basket halfway through, until the potatoes are tender inside and golden brown and crispy outside. Potatoes should pierce easily with a fork.
  7. Remove from the air fryer and place in a serving bowl. Add a squeeze of lemon juice (optional) and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches. Shake or flip halfway through cooking for even browning. Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model. Season generously for the best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
