Air fried potato peels recipe tips

• Avoid Over Crowding: For best results, do not crowd the air fryer. Leave plenty of space between each of the potato peels to cook them to perfection. The hot air must circulate all the way around the potato peels to crisp them up fully.
• Flip Your Potatoes: Depending on the air fryer you are using, you may need to flip halfway when making this potato peel recipe so both sides get fully cooked.
• Keep an Eye On Them: Since every air fryer is slightly different, you should watch the fried potato skins as they cook up. Remove them when they are fully cooked.
