Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

• Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheating the air fryer for about 5 minutes before adding the potatoes helps achieve that crispy skin and fluffy interior. If using an air fryer basket lining, add it after it is preheated.
• Poke Holes and Season: Use a fork to poke several holes in each potato before cooking. This allows steam to escape and prevents the potatoes from bursting.
• Size Matters: Select potatoes that are similar in size to ensure even cooking. Medium-sized russet potatoes work best for baking.
