These Air Fryer Frozen Potatoes O’Brien are crispy, golden, and packed with tender potatoes, colorful bell peppers, and onions. They make a quick and versatile side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner with minimal preparation.

Ingredients

  • 1 bag frozen Potatoes O’Brien
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or drizzle the potatoes with olive oil if desired.
  3. Arrange the frozen Potatoes O’Brien in a single, even layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
  4. Air fry for 15–18 minutes, shaking the basket every 5–6 minutes for even cooking.
  5. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper during the final few minutes of cooking.
  6. Continue cooking until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped chives and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Cook the potatoes directly from frozen for the best texture.
  • Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure even crisping.
  • Top with shredded cheddar cheese during the last 2 minutes for a cheesy variation.
  • Add cooked bacon, diced ham, crumbled breakfast sausage, or a fried egg for a heartier meal.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) air fryer for 3–5 minutes until hot and crispy. Avoid microwaving for the best texture.
