❓Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of potatoes?
Yes, but russet potatoes yield the crispiest skin and fluffiest interior.
Do I need to wrap the potatoes in foil?
No, foil is not needed in the air fryer. The circulating air crisps the skin perfectly.
How do I store leftovers?
Store cooled potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for best results.
