Air Fryer Potatoes — common questions
Can I cut my potatoes ahead of time?
Yes, cut potatoes up to 4 hours ahead and store them in cold water in the refrigerator to prevent browning. Drain and pat completely dry before air frying.
What potato variety works best?
Russet potatoes are ideal because they have low moisture and high starch, creating the crispiest exterior. Avoid waxy varieties like red potatoes, which stay too soft inside.
Why are my potatoes soggy inside?
You likely have too much moisture—either from not patting them dry or from overlapping them in the basket. Always dry potatoes thoroughly and arrange in a single layer without crowding.
Can I make these in a regular oven instead?
Yes; toss potatoes with oil and seasonings, spread on a sheet pan, and bake at 425°F for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through. They won't be quite as crispy as air-fried but will still be very good.
What should I serve these with?
Serve with ketchup, ranch dip, garlic aioli, or malt vinegar. They pair perfectly with burgers, hot dogs, grilled chicken, or steak.
How do I store and reheat leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 5–7 minutes until crispy again, or in a 425°F oven for 10 minutes. Do not microwave, as they will become soggy.
