Keywords: Soaking the cut potatoes in water for 30 minutes before cooking helps remove excess starch for extra crispiness. Feel free to experiment with seasonings or add fresh herbs like rosemary for a gourmet touch. For storage, keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for about five minutes.
