TIPS:

PIGS IN A BLANKET RECIPE

 


INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Cut the potatoes into evenly sized strips, about 1/4-inch thick and 3-4 inches long.
