Easy Air Fryer Potatoes That Turn Out Nice and Crispy

Storage & Reheating Tips

How to Store

Store leftover air fryer potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

How to Reheat

Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F for 4 to 6 minutes, or until hot and crispy again. The air fryer is the best way to bring back the crunch.

Can You Freeze Them?

Cooked potatoes can be frozen, but the texture is best fresh or refrigerated. If freezing, reheat directly in the air fryer until hot and crisp.

Best Make-Ahead Tip

Cut the potatoes ahead and store them in cold water in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Drain and dry very well before air frying.
