A FEW POTATO FACTS (IN CASE YOU'RE CURIOUS)

CAN YOU PUT RAW POTATOES IN AN AIR FRYER?

Pro Tip: Be sure to stir them every few minutes to keep them from sticking.

ARE AIR FRYER POTATOES GOOD FOR YOU?

They are definitely healthier than frying them in the usual way. The air fryer will help you to cut the fat and calories, while maintaining great flavor!

HOW TO SELECT THE BEST POTATOES

When selecting potatoes, be sure to select one that is firm and free of soft spots or blemishes. Oh, and you don’t want a potato with sprouts.

Potatoes, should be stored in a cool dark place with good airflow. So we are talking about 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit.

If your potatoes start to develop any green areas or begin to grow sprouts you need to cut/trim those off before cooking.

CAN YOU PUT RAW POTATOES IN THE AIR FRYER?

Yes you can! That's what make this recipe so easy. You don't even need to peel the potatoes.

ARE AIR FRIED POTATOES HEALTHY?

The great part about cooking with an air fryer vs. oven roasting is the time saved. The cook time in an air fryer is a breeze. Like literally no time…at all.

And they use less oil than an oven roasted version. 

The only downside might be that they might not come out as crispy as the oven version, but with less fat, calories, and time I would call that a major win.

TIPS FOR MAKING THESE AIR FRYER POTATOES

• Cut them evenly. To ensure they cook evenly, be sure to cut them into equal sized pieces.
• Shake them. While they are cooking, it's a good idea to stir them around a little bit to ensure they don't stick.
• Don't overcrowd the basket. If you overcrowd the basket, then you won't get the potatoes as crispy.
