Can I air fry these potatoes if I could what temperature and how many minutes thank you.
I’m sorry, I’ve only made these in the Instant Pot or in the stove. I would suggest 400 degrees for about 10 to 15 minutes and then toss them with the garlic, melted butter, salt, and pepper.
Susan says
Can I make these ahead and reheat for a party? I need to make enough for 20 people.
Unfortunately, I’ve only ever made these right before serving. I’m sure they can be warmed up and enjoyed. I would imagine they will be delicious, just slightly less so than if fresh.

Thanks for the recipe. Have you ever had issues with the garlic burning?
I have not. There’s enough butter in there for it not be an issue.

Thanks for the recipe. I cut my potatoes in half and put them in a ceramic dish and followed your instructions. I pre-heated, they have been in there 30 mins and are still not fork soft. I did them on a baking sheet and 25mins was good. Putting them on top of each other in a dish definitely increases the cooking time. Trying for 35 mins but other food is getting cold.
