❓ FAQ

Can I use frozen potatoes?

Fresh potatoes work best for crispiness. If using frozen, thaw and pat completely dry first.

Can I make them ahead of time?

Yes—par-cook and store in the fridge, then roast when ready to serve.

Can I air-fry pub potatoes?

Absolutely—air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway through.
