Tips for the Best Results
Consistent Slices: Try to cut your potato slices as evenly as possible (around 1/3-inch thick) so they all finish cooking at the same time.
Don’t Overcrowd: Make sure to keep the slices in a single layer in the basket so the hot air can circulate and crisp up the outer edges.
