Frequently asked questions
Good questions, answered.
Can I prep these the night before?
Yes, dice everything and store covered in the fridge, then toss with oil and seasoning right before air frying.
Why are my potatoes not crisping?
Overcrowding the basket causes steaming; spread the potatoes in a single layer and shake often.
