If you have leftovers (though it’s rare!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them back into the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes until crisp again. Avoid microwaving—this will make them soggy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweet potatoes instead?
Yes! Sweet potato slices cook beautifully in the air fryer and make a slightly sweeter, healthier alternative.
Do I need to preheat the air fryer?
It’s optional, but preheating helps create a crispier texture and more even cooking.
Can I use less oil?
You can, but a small amount of oil helps the slices crisp up and prevents them from drying out. Even just a teaspoon will make a difference.
How thick should I slice the potatoes?
Aim for about ⅛ inch thick—too thin and they’ll burn quickly; too thick and they’ll take longer to cook.
Can I cook them without soaking?
Yes, but they may be slightly less crispy. If you’re short on time, just dry them thoroughly before air frying.
