Recipe Tips

For an extra flavourful experience, add some herbs or cheese over your potatoes before air frying them.

Make sure to brush the potatoes with oil before air frying them as this helps create that perfectly crisp and golden skin.

No, it is not necessary to cover potatoes in foil before air frying. Doing so will prevent them from getting a nice crispy skin.

Yes, you can use any kind of oil that has a high smoke point such as coconut or melted lard. Just make sure that it is suitable for your dietary needs.

How do I know if my potatoes are cooked?

You will know that your potatoes are cooked when they are tender, and you can easily insert a fork into them. If the potatoes are still hard, then they need more time in the air fryer.

Of course! You can add any seasonings you like to your potatoes before cooking. Popular choices include garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, parsley, and rosemary.
