Notes

Do not overcrowd the basket – the potatoes will steam rather than air fry and so will become mushy and not crispy.

Ensure to dry the potatoes to prevent steam

To make the potatoes extra crispy, you can soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes. This draws out excess starch

Note that cooking time can vary between models, size and type of potatoes, so keep an eye on the potatoes at the half way mark and adjust the temperature accordingly.

Ensure all potatoes are fairly evenly cut so they all cook at the same rate
