Tips for How to Cook Crispy Potatoes in Air Fryer

  1. Make sure to keep the potato cuts consistent. Try to keep them the same size for even cooking. If you have some chunks that are too large, they’ll still be raw while the other sizes are cooked perfectly.
  2. In a bowl add a little oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper to potatoes. You can season with your other favorite seasonings too. We like to add a splash of soy sauce on the potatoes for an extra umami flavor.
  3. Gold potatoes and russet potatoes are creamy and cook really nice. Red potatoes are our least favorite because they don’t have the same tender soft center as gold or russet potatoes.
  4. Let them cool and top with some cheese if you like or dip in ranch, ketchup or bbq sauce.

Best Potatoes to Air Fry?

Everyone has a favorite potato or the main one you always buy. But we tried several different varieties of poatoes in the air fryer and here are our results.

  • Russet potatoes are great because of their high starch content and crispy outside texture.
  • We love yukon gold or any gold variety of potatoes. They are so creamy and tender. Air frying these are awesome.
  • White potatoes are great too.
  • Fingerling potatoes are fantastic! Cut them them in half lengthwise so they can cook quicker and all the way through.
  • Red potatoes are waxy and don’t crisp up that well. They’re lowest on our list.
