How do you make crispy potatoes?

Oil and high heat help make potatoes crispy. It’s also important to try to spread the potatoes out into an even layer without much overlapping.

Each time you flip the potatoes, use a spatula to make sure any edges are scraped from the pan. This will help get the potatoes evenly cooked and crispy on more sides.

How to store

Store: store leftover roasted potatoes and onions in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat: reheat the roasted potatoes in the air fryer or oven for the best texture and crispiness.
