You’ll know by the sound. When you shake the basket, they should rattle like marbles. The surface should be golden-brown and feel firm to the touch. Cut one open—if the inside is a cloud of steam, you’ve nailed it.
One more thing: season them again right after they come out. A final pinch of flaky salt changes everything. It’s like the cherry on top of your potato sundae. Don’t skip it. Seriously, your grandmother would be proud.
But What About Leftovers?
Ha! Leftover air fryer roast potatoes? That’s a myth. They’ll be gone before they even cool down. But if you somehow have a few stragglers, just reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F for three minutes. They’ll snap right back, crispier than ever.
So there you go. No oven preheating, no waiting an hour, no greasy disaster. Just you, your air fryer, and a basket of potatoes that taste like they came from a fancy pub.Go on, make some. You deserve a little crunch in your life.
And hey, if you mess up? Just eat them anyway. They’re still potatoes. And potatoes are always a win. Always.
