Wash and dry the potatoes. There's no need to peel them.
Cut the potatoes into equal-sized pieces. This will ensure even cooking.
Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes (this is to remove excess starch).
After this time, drain the potatoes and dry them thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Put the potatoes in a bowl. Add the bicarbonate of soda and mix.
Then add the olive oil and mix again. Now add the seasoning of your choice. Ours was salt, pepper and paprika. Make sure everything is uniform.
Distribute the potatoes in the Air Fryer basket, without overlapping them, so that they cook evenly. Set to 390°F/200°C for 15 to 20 minutes. Remember to shake the basket halfway through.
Taste it and see if it's crispy. It's ready. Serve with the sauce of your choice.

FAQ ❓

Why do the potatoes need to be soaked?

We soak the potatoes to remove excess starch, thus preventing them from becoming sticky and crispy.

All the steps are important, but the use of baking soda is paramount. It helps break down the pectin on the surface of the potatoes, creating a rougher, crispier surface.

Which spices can I use?

Always do it in order: bicarbonate (mix) and olive oil (mix). Then add your favorite seasonings: salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, herbs de Provence, etc.
