Notes
-
Best potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are ideal for a creamy interior, but russet or red potatoes work well too.
-
Extra crispiness: Soak the potato quarters in cold water for 30 minutes, then pat dry before seasoning to remove excess starch.
-
Flavor boost: Add extra garlic powder or paprika if you like bolder flavors.
-
Dipping ideas: Serve with garlic aioli, ranch, or sour cream.
-
Reheating: Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes.
