Helpful Tips
Many potato recipes, like french fries and hash browns, suggest soaking or rinsing the potatoes in water before baking, to reduce the amount of starch. If you’re using very starchy potatoes, like russets, it does help a bit.
We tried it both ways and found that the potatoes were pretty crispy either way. If you’re in a hurry, skip it and go directly to the frying.
You can cut the potatoes into any thickness for this recipe but keep in mind that the times will change. If you cut the potato thicker, the cook time will increase to 18 minutes total.
When spraying the potatoes make sure to use pure oil such as olive, avocado, canola, or vegetable oil. Don’t use a non-stick cooking oil spray.
You might have to air fry them in batches so they aren’t overlapping. That’s how to ensure they get crispy.
