Best Potatoes to Air Fry?
- 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.

Wow your air fried potatoes was really good. It goes great with almost everything.
I made these they were delicious and good and crunchy. I give this 100%
Thanks so much Joyce! So glad you enjoyed the crispy potatoes. If you could give us a 5-star review that would be appreciated!
I made this for my omelets. It came out perfect and crispy.
I was thinking of running a potato through my spiralizer and then air frying it. I just have no idea of time and temperature. I can use your recipe for seasoning, but could you suggest time and temperature?
Hi Linda, we would suggest using the same temperature and time as the recipe. But just check it and turn it more often to make sure all the spirals crisp. Then you can adjust time to your preferred crispness.
Excellent, I made them spicy with thyme, basil, Cheyenne, salt pepper. I paired them with spinach scrambled eggs. Yummm
The pairing sounds great. What a wonderful breakfast!
This is a much healthier alternative. And they came out crisp with less oil. Thanks for the recipe.
Great for making home style breakfast potatoes. I added some cheese on top and served with scrambled eggs. Perfect!
