Why do you soak potatoes in water before frying?
Soaking potatoes before frying them draws out the natural starch in potatoes and gives them that great crunch. It also helps prevent them from sticking to each other in the basket.
If your air-fryer chips are soggy, throw them back into the fryer to cook a little more. Because air-fryer temperatures vary, so do cook times. That’s why our air-fryer recipes have wide time ranges. You may need to cook your chips a little longer than suggested. Start checking the food at the shortest time and check back a little later if it’s not done.
