Instructions
Step 1: Steam the Potatoes

Step 2: Season the Potatoes

- Coat the Potatoes – Toss the steamed potatoes in the spice mix, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- The Secret to Crispiness – Add rice flour and mix again until all potatoes are well coated.
Step 3: Air Fry Until Crispy
- Preheat the Air Fryer – Set it to 375°F (190°C).
- Arrange the Potatoes – Spread them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd.
- Air Fry – Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crisping.
- Check for Crispiness – If needed, air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Serving Suggestions
