FAQs
Q: Can I use russet potatoes instead of Yukon Gold?
A: Yes. Russets will be a bit fluffier inside and still crisp outside. Cut evenly for uniform cook time.
Q: Do I need to soak the potatoes first?
A: Soaking removes some starch and can help crisp them more, but it is not required. Pat dry if you soak them.
Q: Can I make them ahead?
A: You can cook and cool them, then reheat in the air fryer before serving to keep them crispy.
Q: Can I use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder?
A: You can, but fresh garlic may brown faster. Mince finely and mix with oil before coating.
Q: How do I make them extra crispy?
A: Use less oil, avoid overcrowding, and shake the basket often. A light spray of oil midway can help.
