I finally stopped soaking my air fryer fries in cold water and they come out way crispier
Every recipe I saw said to soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before air frying to get them crispy. Last Tuesday I was short on time so I skipped the soak and just dried them really well with a towel. They came out way crispier than any batch I had soaked before. I think the water bath was actually leaving them too wet inside. Has anyone else tried skipping the soak, or am I just getting lucky with my potato picks?
