For extra crispy fries, ensure the potatoes are thoroughly dried after the hot water soak. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to allow for even cooking. Experiment with different seasonings! Garlic powder, smoked paprika, or even a sprinkle of parmesan cheese can add a unique flavor.
