INGREDIENT NOTES:

BITE-SIZED POTATOES:

  • They are a great option for the ghost snack because they cut easily. We air-fry these potatoes till they become crispy and tender. Depending on your preferences, you can use baby Yukon Gold potatoes.

AVOCADO OIL SPRAY:

  • The potatoes get a little coating from this spray, which makes them crispy and golden. Olive oil spray is another option.

SALT:

  • It brings out the seasoning, and brings out the potatoes. It brings out the potatoes. Another option is to use a seasoning blend with less sodium.
