Notes
This Air Fryer recipe uses an Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven. Not all Air Fryers cook the same way. It’s best to keep watch during your initial tests after purchasing.
Don’t forget to use oven mitts or Air Fryer mitts when removing the Air Fryer tray. Other parts of the Air Fryer are hot too. Be careful.
TIPS:
After dicing, soak bite-sized potatoes in water to avoid from browning. Pat dry potatoes before seasoning.
When directly using the Air Fryer tray, use another tray or baking sheet at the bottom to avoid any mess.
