Instructions
Air Fryer Potatoes
Toss your diced potatoes in a large bowl with olive oil. Season with salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Use your hands or a spoon to move the potatoes around so each piece is evenly coated.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 17 to 23 minutes. (If using a basket air fryer shake halfway through the cooking time.) Potatoes should be crispy and fully cooked when done.
Black Beans
Add canned black beans (do not drain) to a pot. Season with chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Once beans are warmed through remove from heat.
To Assemble
Plate air fryer potatoes into individual servings. Use a slotted spoon to scoop black beans and add to the top of the cooked potatoes. Add two fried eggs to each plate. Top everything with salsa, feta or cojita cheese, and cilantro.
Notes
This recipe serves 4 but can easily serve 6 to 8 if you offer smaller portions and a side salad. Nutrition information assumes you are dividing this into 4 servings.
