Instructions

Notes

Expert Tips

  • Make sure the potatoes are all cut around the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Pat dry the potatoes after rinsing! If they're wet you'll have a hard time getting them super crispy in the air fryer. (And the oil won't stick.)
  • Do not overlap the potatoes in the air fryer or they will not get crispy.
  • If you're using a tray, make sure you flip the potatoes after about 15 minutes.
  • If you're using a basket, toss the potatoes 2-3 times to ensure even cooking.
  • Top potatoes with flaky sea salt for added flavor and texture.
