    Why this recipe works

    The air fryer creates the perfect crispy texture on the outside while keeping the potatoes moist and fluffy on the inside.

    Indian spices give these potato cubes a delicious flavor that everyone will love.

    These crispy air fryer potatoes are perfect for a side dish or appetizer.

    When I made these with sweet potatoes, my kids enjoyed them as a snack during school recess. Likewise, air fryer potato cubes are one of the easiest and kids' favorite recipes.

    These easy diced air fryer potatoes can be served with everything! Crispy, tender, and totally delicious!

    This recipe is inspired by my air fryer roasted beetroot and frozen okra in the air fryer.

    The best thing I liked about this dish is that it's quick and easy to prepare.

    So it's perfect for busy weeknight meals. All you need is fresh potatoes and a few spices.

    Ingredients note

    Air fryer potato cubes recipe ingredients are on the table.
    • Potatoes: I used red potatoes for this recipe, but you can use any type of potato that you like. (Yukon golds, and russet potatoes)
    • Spices: I used a combination of chili powder, garam masala, and turmeric powder to flavor these potatoes. If you don't have all of these spices on hand, you can use any combination that you like. A dash of black pepper goes a long way in adding flavor.
    • Oil: I prefer using extra virgin olive oil to get all the flavors from the potatoes. If you do not have that, vegetable oil is a good substitute.

    See all the details of the recipe and the ingredients list on the recipe card!

    Step-by-step instructions

    Cut the potatoes into small cubes and place them in a large bowl and add cold water just to cover the diced potatoes. Keep it for 10 minutes to remove all the starch.

    Drain the water completely and spread the potatoes on a paper towel to remove all the moisture.

    Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F.

    A bowl is with diced potatoes, spices and salt.

    In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, oil, and salt.

    A bowl of spiced potato cubes are on the table.

    Add this spice blend to the potatoes and mix everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.

    Potato cubes are on air fryer basket.

    Place the potato cubes in the air fryer basket (single layer) and air fry for 15 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.

    Crispy air fryer cubed potatoes are ready! Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!

    Serving suggestion

    I personally like to serve with vegan raita or a side dish for steamed rice and curry pairing.

    But you can serve it as a side with just about anything! Try it with grilled veggies, or tofu. You can even add it to your favorite salad for a little extra crunch.

    Leftovers

    These air fryer potato cubes are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers will keep in the fridge in an airtight container, for up to four days.

    Reheat them in the air fryer or in the oven at 400F until they are crispy and heated thoroughly.

    Recipe FAQ

    Do I need to preheat the air fryer?

    Yes, you will need to preheat your air fryer to 400F before adding the potatoes. This will help them cook evenly and get nice and crispy.

    Can I use a different type of potato?

    Yes, you can use any type of potato that you like for this recipe. I prefer red potatoes because they are small and cook evenly, but you can use any type of potato that you have on hand.

    What other spices can I use?

    If you don't have all of the spices listed in the recipe, you can use any combination that you like. Try a blend of chili powder, smoked paprika, and cumin for a smoky flavor.
    Or try using Italian seasoning like oregano, thyme, and garlic powder for an Italian flavor.
    Get creative and use whatever spices you have on hand!

    Expert tips

    • For great results try spraying them with a little bit of oil before air frying to get extra crispy potatoes.
    • If you want to cut down on prep time, you can buy pre-cut potato cubes at most grocery stores. Just be sure to rinse them well before adding them to the air fryer.
    • You can also make these potato cubes in the oven. Just bake them at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
    • Cooked potatoes from the air fryer can be extremely hot. Spread them out on a kitchen towel to let them cool a little before serving.
