Small Potatoes in Air Fryer FAQ
The following are a couple of questions and answers about making small potatoes in the air fryer.
Why do you soak potatoes in water before air frying?
When you make fries or wedges, you will want to soak them beforehand. The reason you soak them is to draw out some of the extra starch and then wash it away. Removing the starch can help to make the fries crispier and less likely to stick together.
For crispier small potatoes, you can soak them for about 20 minutes in slightly salty water and then rinse them before frying them.
Do potatoes need to be boiled before air frying?
You do not necessarily need to, though it can help with larger potatoes. Boiling them ahead of time can give them a softer interior and crispier outside. When using smaller potatoes, like we do, they cook through quickly with no need to boil them first.
