Notes
- 1 CUP = 250 ML. (US cups are typically 240 ml. You can use US cups with no significant change to the dish). 1 TEASPOON = 5ML; 1 TABLESPOON=15 ML.
- Grams to cups measurements – we strive to provide these conversions as accurately as possible. There might be some slight variations depending on the brand, weighing scale, etc.
- Serving size – This serves 3-4 people. Adjust the serving size to fit your dietary needs.
- Keep the potato pieces fairly uniform in size to ensure even cooking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for two to three days. Reheat at 400 degrees F for about 4-5 minutes until heated through.
- I have a Gourmia 6 Quart Digital Air Fryer, which I have used to test the recipe. There might be slight variations if you are using a different brand/capacity/model. Adjust the temperature/timing accordingly.
