Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds potatoes , peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper , seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 small onion , cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 jalapeno , seeded and cut into 1-inch rings
• 0.5 teaspoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons taco seasoning mix
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin

Instructions

1. 1

   Soak potatoes in cool water for 20 minutes.

2. 2

   Preheat the air fryer to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C). Drain the potatoes, dry them with a clean towel, and transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the potatoes and toss to coat. Add them to the preheated air fryer basket. Set the timer for 18 minutes.

3. 3

   Put bell pepper, onion, and jalapeno in the bowl previously used for the potatoes. Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, taco seasoning, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.

4. 4

   Transfer potatoes from the air fryer to the bowl with the vegetable mixture. Return the empty basket to the air fryer and raise the temperature to 356 degrees F (180 degrees C).

5. 5

   Quickly toss the contents of the bowl to mix the potatoes evenly with the vegetables and seasoning. Transfer mixture into the basket. Cook for 6 minutes, shake the basket, and continue cooking until potatoes are browned and crispy, about 5 minutes more. Serve immediately.
