Notes
Cut potatoes to uniform size for even cooking. Don't overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if needed for maximum crisp. Adjust time by potato size and air fryer model; add 2–4 minutes if they’re not browned enough. Use leftovers by tossing them into garlic butter beef bites with potatoes for an easy second meal.
