    Beautiful technique Felu, another amazing recipe! 😎 The last technique combined with playing with the oil would be perfect. I think I'll try adding 1/2 tsp of oil or tsp of oil to the boil then use a spray every now and then whilst in the air fryer, potatoes and the oil are high calorie anyway and I think it's best to think of this as reducing oil rather than trying our best to omit it.

      You'll have to let us know how that works out.

    1) do you boil the water first then add the potatoes and simmer? Or do you add the potatoes, bring the water to a boil, then simmer for 7-10 mins?
    2) wondering if the ratio of water/salt/baking soda changes if you're cooking more potatoes?

      1.) I boiled them for 7-10 mins in boiling water and added them in when the water was cold so it was more like 9-12 min
      2.) If you use more water then you also need slightly more salt baking soda. Adding more salt is fine but don't go crazy on the soda because it can leave a weird aftertaste when overused.

    The main reason I never peel my potatoes is to save time. It's just a waste of time to me to peel them. But I never knew the fact about the nutrients in the skin. I always thought most of the nutrients were in the skin...so thanks for that info.
