Peel your russet potatoes and diced into small ½ inch cubes. Wash thoroughly in cold water and drain.
*Since I am air-frying the potato cubes, I like to either pat them dry with paper towels or in my salad spinner. This extra step will give you crispier potatoes when air-frying.
Season the potatoes with one teaspoon of salt. Add two tablespoons of avocado oil and toss to combine.
Air-fry for 20 min on 375, mixing half way in between.
Or you can deep-fry the potatoes if you prefer in a neutral oil until golden and crispy. Drain on a paper-towel lined plate and set aside.
Heat up a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced beef and cook until browned. Once browned, add the remaining two tablespoons of avocado oil.
Season with one teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of seven spices and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Cook over medium heat for a couple more minutes.
Lastly, add the cooked diced potatoes and mix to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes and turn off the heat. Serve with pickles, pita bread and ketchup or your favorites sauces.
