Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Potatoes
To take your Air Fryer Potatoes to the next level, here are some handy tips:
- Allow the air fryer to pre-heat before adding the potatoes. This will ensure maximum crispiness.
- Keep in mind that instructions may vary slightly based on the brand of your air fryer. Check your user manual for specific volume and cooking times.
- Make sure to pat the potatoes dry before seasoning them. This will help the seasonings stick and ensure they crisp up nicely.
- For reheating leftovers, simply pop them back in the preheated air fryer for 5-10 minutes to regain their crispy perfection.
