Usually about 25-30 minutes. Once they are golden and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, they are done. You can test this with a fork. It should be able to easily slide in and out.
It is not necessary. It cuts down on the actual cooking time needed in the air fryer but I think (for this recipe anyways) it just creates ore dirty dishes and isn’t necessary for creating a crispy and creamy potato.
There is no need to preheat the air fryer, you can to get them done a few minutes sooner but it is not required for this recipe.
Yes you can. As long as you do not disrupt the air flow around the food. I know some people like to line their air fryer baskets so it’s less of a cleanup but the whole point of an air fryer is to allow the air to circulate around the food to cook it. It is best to not line your air fryer basket at all so the food cooks evenly and gets crispy.
Since these are already coated in butter, the risk of them sticking is minimal so you do not need to spray. If you want to be cautious you can spray with olive oil spray.
These cooked potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container where they will keep for 3-4 days. You can reheat these in the air fryer at 350F degrees until heated through or you can microwave.
