Pro Tips
- Cut the potatoes all the same size, this will ensure that all potatoes are evenly cooked and browned.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. A proper hot air circulation is important to ensure even cooking and crisping. You may need to work in batches.
- I prefer to soak the potatoes in water before air frying. It removes the excess starch and makes them super crispy.
- Preheating the air fryer speeds up the browning process and cooking time.
