Recipe Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Before you head off to make these potato pancakes in the air fryer, read through these few recipe tips so that you know just what to expect from this recipe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Instead of grating the potatoes with a grater, you can use a food processor to shred the potatoes. Just don’t shred them too fine. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
If you want to enjoy the potato pancakes sweet (with apple sauce, for example), don’t add black pepper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Don’t grate the potatoes ahead of time, since they may change color due to oxidation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Squeeze out as much liquid as possible, otherwise, the potato pancakes may not air fry well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket or the potato pancakes may not cook and crisp evenly. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
If you have trouble with the potato pancake mix running through the cracks in the air fryer basket, place down a bit of parchment paper. The cooking time will likely be longer in that case.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
