  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

  • Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to evenly season.
  • Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry at 400°F for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.

Add onions or peppers if you want to switch things up.
