Instructions:

Finish: - Remove the potatoes from the air fryer.

Tips for Air Fryer Success:
- Don’t Overcrowd: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary.
- Flip for Even Cooking: Flipping the potatoes halfway through ensures even cooking and browning.
- Adjust Cooking Time: Keep a close eye on the potatoes as cooking times can vary.
- For Extra Crispiness: You can increase the cooking time by a few minutes for extra crispy potatoes.
- Enjoy your delicious air-fried roasted garlic potatoes!
