Because not all Air Fryers cook the same, pierce potatoes with a knife after cooking to make sure they're cooked tender, before serving. If potatoes are not cooked done, place basket back in Air Fryer, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. You can also serve with your favorite toppings, crackers, bread, or Frito's.
