Air Fryer Tips
Want the crispiest potatoes possible? Space them out in your air fryer basket – giving each potato piece its own little spot helps them get super crispy all around! If you’re making a bigger batch, it’s better to cook in two rounds rather than crowding them all in at once. And that mid-cooking shake isn’t just for fun – it helps every piece get that perfect golden finish.
Quick Variations
Love playing with flavors? Try these easy swaps:
- Switch the garlic powder for ranch seasoning
- Add 1 teaspoon of paprika for a smoky kick
- Toss with grated parmesan cheese right after cooking
- Add dried rosemary or thyme with the other seasonings
Just keep the oil amount the same and you’re good to go!
Serving Ideas
These crispy potatoes are perfect next to almost anything! Serve them instead of fries with burgers, pair them with grilled chicken, or add them to your weekend brunch plate. For an extra touch, put out some dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or honey mustard. They’re also great with a sprinkle of extra salt while they’re still hot!
Storage Tips
Got leftovers? Let them cool completely, then pop them in an airtight container in the fridge – they’ll stay good for 3-4 days. To reheat, just toss them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes. They’ll crisp right back up! Avoid microwaving if you can – it makes them soft instead of crispy.
