Here’s a simple way to make crispy air fryer potatoes—golden on the outside, fluffy inside, and healthier than deep-fried fries. 🍟
🛒 Ingredients
- 2–3 medium potatoes (russet or Yukon Gold work best)
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
- Optional seasonings: black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, rosemary
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Potatoes
- Wash and peel (optional) the potatoes
- Cut into fries, wedges, or cubes
- Soak in cold water for 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch → helps crispiness
- Drain and pat completely dry
2️⃣ Season
- Toss potatoes with olive oil and seasonings
3️⃣ Air Fry
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C)
- Arrange potatoes in a single layer (don’t overcrowd)
- Cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking basket halfway
- Check for golden, crispy edges; cook 2–5 minutes longer if needed
4️⃣ Serve
- Sprinkle with extra salt, fresh herbs, or grated Parmesan
- Serve immediately for maximum crispiness
⚡ Tips for Extra Crunch
- Use russet potatoes—they crisp better
- Make sure potatoes are completely dry before oiling
- Lightly coat with cornstarch for ultra-crispy fries
