4. Bake or Air Fry:
• Baking: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they’re spread out in a single layer. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the potatoes in a single layer and air fry for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
5. Check for Crispiness:
• The potatoes should turn golden brown with a crisp exterior and soft interior. If needed, bake or air fry for a few more minutes.
6. Serve Immediately:
• Crispy potatoes are best enjoyed fresh. Serve them as a snack, side dish, or part of a main meal.
Extra Tips:
• Flour Coating: Use a fine dusting of flour; too much can result in a cakey texture.
• Steam Dry: After boiling, let the potatoes steam dry for a minute or two. This ensures the flour sticks well.
• Avoid Crowding: Ensure the potatoes have space during baking/air frying for even crisping.
• Season After Baking (Optional): For an extra flavor punch, sprinkle on additional seasoning while the potatoes are still hot.
This method gives you crispy potatoes without needing any oil while retaining a fluffy interior!
