❓ Quick Cooking Q&A

How thick should I slice the potatoes?

Aim for 1/4 inch thickness for optimal crispiness. Too thin will burn, too thick won't cook through.

Why soak the potatoes in water?

Soaking removes excess starch, resulting in crispier potato slices.

Can I skip the oil completely?

While you can reduce the oil, using some helps achieve better crispiness and prevents sticking.

Why aren't my potato slices getting crispy?

Ensure potatoes are completely dry and not overcrowded in the basket.

Can I use other types of potatoes?

Yes, but russet potatoes work best for crispiness due to their starch content.

How do I prevent the potatoes from sticking to the basket?

Make sure to coat evenly with oil and flip halfway through cooking.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Best served fresh, but can be reheated in the air-fryer for 2-3 minutes.

What's the best dipping sauce?

Popular choices include ketchup, aioli, ranch, or honey mustard.

How do I know when they're done?

They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, tender inside.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, but cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Why did my potatoes turn brown before cooking?

This is oxidation - keep cut potatoes in water until ready to cook.

How long do leftovers last?

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, but they're best fresh.

Can I use frozen potato slices?

Fresh is recommended, but frozen will work with adjusted cooking time.

What if I don't have all the seasonings?

Salt and pepper alone work fine - feel free to experiment with available spices.

Can I make these without preheating the air-fryer?

Preheating ensures even cooking and better crispiness.
