Storing for Later

You can also store them in the fridge for 4-5 days in an airtight container.

Recipe tips and tricks
- The skin is actually where you find the nutrients and other good stuff, making red potatoes one of the healthiest varieties and also a good source of fiber!
- This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the “Air Fry” function.
- Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes airfrying is a trial-and-error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better! When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/under cooking.
