Common Questions Asked About This Recipe
Which tools are helpful for making air fryer breakfast recipes?
Well, first off, you need an air fryer! We love the Cuisinart TOA-60 air fryer because it’s a rack air fryer, not a basket air fryer. You can really spread ingredients out over the rack which helps them get a crispier exterior and also to cook a lot faster.
For chopping bacon, I like to use my kitchen shears – they make short work out the task. And, I use my kitchen shears for chopping fresh herbs and scallions, too.
Can I make this dish using just one type of potatoes instead?
Yep. The yellow and red look super pretty together, but use whichever, totally fine.
If my potatoes are large instead of the small size, can I just cut them into chunks?
Yes. Cut the potatoes into 1 1/2-inch chunks – it works just fine.
Can I use russet potatoes in this recipe? They are the most economical at the store.
Actually, you can roast any type of potatoes but because russet potatoes have a very high starch content, sometimes they fall apart more easily when they are fully cooked. Also, russet potatoes have to be peeled before eating them while red and gold potatoes don’t.
How do I know when the potatoes and bacon are fully cooked?
The potatoes will be fork-tender when tested (if the fork slides in easily, the potatoes are done) and the bacon will be crispy and browned.
If I don’t have Montreal Steak Seasoning on hand, which other seasoning blend would be good in this recipe?
Great question! I have used just regular ole seasoned salt in this recipe and also a creole seasoning blend such as Tony Chachere’s.
If you are making this potato side dish to go along with a Mexican breakfast dish (such as Huevos Rancheros or Breakfast Burritos, etc) you can use a southwest or tex mex seasoning blend – delish!
