Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Crispy Potatoes

Choose the Right Potatoes:
Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for the crispiest texture — they crisp beautifully and stay soft inside.

Soak Before Air Frying:
After cutting, soak the potatoes in cold water for 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps them crisp up better.

Dry Thoroughly:
Pat them completely dry with paper towels before seasoning — moisture is the enemy of crispiness!

Don’t Overcrowd the Basket:
Cook in batches if needed — overcrowding traps steam and prevents that golden crunch.

Use a Little Oil:
Toss the potatoes in 1–2 teaspoons of oil — just enough to coat evenly for maximum crispness.

Shake Halfway:
Shake or stir the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning on all sides.

Season at the Right Time:
Add salt and herbs after cooking to maintain their crisp texture (or toss lightly before for infused flavor).

Experiment with Flavors:
Try adding garlic powder, paprika, rosemary, or parmesan for extra flavor flai
