The air fryer is a fantastic appliance for making potatoes. It cooks a potato from raw to crispy in about 12 minutes, and they are cooked better than any oven can do in twice the time.
Air frying potatoes with a little olive oil and some salt and ground black pepper leads to a perfectly crispy potato that you’ll truly enjoy.

Why Use an Air Fryer
An air fryer is an incredibly easy way to cook just about anything. You place the food in a fryer-style basket and hot air rapidly circulates all around the food, making the food crisp – much like deep-frying, but without the oil. You can cook anything you’d make in the oven.
