Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning

Cooking Ingredient:

Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and prepare a clean workspace, ensuring potatoes are thoroughly washed and dried.
- Dice potatoes into uniform bite-sized cubes to promote consistent cooking and optimal texture.
- Slice onions and bell peppers into thin, even strips that will complement the potato pieces.
- Drizzle olive oil over the vegetable mixture, ensuring each piece gets a light, even coating.
- Sprinkle seasonings across the vegetables, gently tossing with a spatula to distribute spices uniformly.
- Transfer the seasoned vegetable medley into the air fryer basket, spreading ingredients in a single layer to maximize crispiness.
- Set air fryer temperature to 375°F and cook for approximately 35 minutes, pausing midway to shake the basket and promote even browning.
- Check potatoes for golden-brown edges and tender interior, adjusting cooking time if needed for desired crispness.
- Once fully cooked, carefully remove the home fries from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes to set the crispy exterior.
- Serve hot as a delectable side dish, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- Achieve maximum crispiness by cutting potatoes into uniform, bite-sized cubes to ensure even cooking and golden-brown edges.
- Soak potato pieces in cold water for 15 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch, resulting in crunchier home fries with a lighter texture.
- Customize seasoning by experimenting with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or garlic powder to add personal flair and complex flavor profiles to the dish.
- For a low-carb alternative, substitute potatoes with diced cauliflower or turnips, maintaining the same cooking technique and spice blend.
