Servings

½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil divided (3 teaspoons)
3 cups cubed russet potatoes (1 inch cubes) 2 to 3 potatoes (depending upon size) that have been scrubbed clean, rinsed and patted dry with paper towels.
1 cup chopped yellow onion (¾ to 1 inch pieces) 1 medium onion

Stir together salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a small bowl. Set aside.
Place potatoes in a medium mixing bowl. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Reserve ¼ teaspoon of the seasoning blend for the onions. Sprinkle the potatoes with the remaining seasoning blend and toss to coat evenly.
Place potatoes in your air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook the potatoes at 390 degrees F for 7 minutes. While the potatoes are cooking, place the onions in the same mixing bowl and drizzle with the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of seasoning blend and toss again to coat evenly.
After the potatoes have cooked for 7 minutes, add the onions and shake the basket (or use a set of tongs to toss). Cook for an additional 7 to 9 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown and onions are tender.
If doubling the recipe and making in batches, when the batches are done, place all the potatoes and onions in the air fryer basket and heat for 1 to 2 minutes.

Once cooled, store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
Red or gold potatoes can also be used.
Potatoes can be cooked peeled or unpeeled. If peeling, scrub and rinse the potatoes clean and pat dry with paper towels before cutting.
