- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes and bacon together until evenly coated (no extra oil needed — the bacon does the work).
- Place the potato and bacon mixture in the air fryer basket in an even layer. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, shaking halfway, until potatoes are tender inside and crispy outside.
- Optionally, toss in a bit of salt to taste and sprinkle with some chopped green onions to garnish
Notes
-
- Cutting potatoes into evenly sized pieces ensures they cook evenly and crisp up perfectly.
-
- Don’t overcrowd the basket. Crowding can cause them to steam instead of getting crispy.
-
- Sweet potatoes give a naturally creamy texture, and russets or Yukon gold potatoes crisp up the best. You can also mix different types.
-
- The bacon adds plenty of salt, but feel free to add a pinch of extra salt, pepper, or your favorite herbs after air frying.
