Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of potatoes work best in an air fryer? Yukon Gold, Russet, and baby potatoes are popular choices because they crisp well. Russets provide a crispy outside and fluffy inside, while Yukon Golds have a creamier texture. Should I preheat the air fryer? Yes, preheating for 3-5 minutes is recommended. This helps the potatoes and onions start cooking immediately, leading to a crispier texture. How much oil should I use for air frying potatoes and onions? A light spray or about 1-2 teaspoons is sufficient for most air fryers. Too much oil can make them soggy rather than crispy. Can I use frozen potatoes in the air fryer? Yes, but increase the cooking time slightly. No need to thaw; just add them directly to the preheated air fryer. What seasonings work well for air fryer potatoes and onions? Popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, rosemary, thyme, and smoked paprika. Toss seasonings with the potatoes and onions before air frying. How can I make my potatoes extra crispy in the air fryer? Soak potato pieces in cold water for 15-30 minutes before air frying. This removes excess starch, resulting in a crispier texture. Dry thoroughly before seasoning and air frying. Can I cook other vegetables with potatoes and onions in the air fryer? Yes, but choose vegetables with similar cooking times (like bell peppers or carrots). Add more delicate veggies, like broccoli, later in the cooking process to prevent overcooking.Nutrition
