Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model. I recommend starting with less cook time, checking for doneness, then adding more time as needed.
Make These In The Oven

Recipe Notes
- When making be sure to thoroughly pat dry your potatoes with a kitchen towel or paper towel otherwise they may not crisp up.

- Use other shapes of cookie cutters depending on the occasion, just make sure they are sturdy metal cutters.
- No need to peel the potatoes.

- Add heat – a pinch of red pepper flakes, cayenne or jalapeños adds heat easily.
