Step by Step to Potato Perfection

The process starts with slicing your potatoes to an even thickness around 5mm is ideal. This ensures even cooking and that perfect crisp fluff balance. Toss them in sunflower oil and sea salt, then spread them out in your air fryer basket. If your air fryer is small, you might need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Cooking at 190°C (374°F) for about 20 to 25 minutes gives the best results. Turn them a couple of times during the cooking process to ensure even browning and to prevent sticking.

Potato Selection Tips

For best results, use starchy potatoes like Maris Piper, Russet, or King Edward. They tend to crisp up better and give you that classic golden crunch. Avoid waxy varieties if you’re aiming for a crispy finish.

Tips and Tricks for Best Results

• Even Thickness is Key: Make sure the slices are uniform to ensure consistent cooking.
• Avoid Overcrowding: Spread the slices in a single layer. Overlapping causes soggy spots.
• Turn Midway: Gently flip or shake the basket once or twice during cooking to promote even browning.
• Adjust Timing for Thickness: Thinner slices will cook faster; check around the 15 minute mark if slicing thinner than 5mm.
• Batch Cooking: If your air fryer is small, cook in two rounds for the best texture.
