Notes
- The other trick in making crispy-skinned potatoes is to season them with salt and other spices before you cook them. The salt draws out moisture from the skin which makes it easy to get that nice and crispy texture.
- When you wash them, make sure they are completely dry. If they are wet they steam and we want crispy, perfect potatoes, not steamed ones.
- Make sure you don’t overcrowd the Air Fryer, you want the air to circulate around the potatoes.
- The cooking time will vary a bit depending on how big your potatoes are. When a fork pierces easily through the center they are done! You can also check the internal temperature of the potato and it should be 205 degrees F.
