- Shake the basket midway through cooking to prevent sticking and ensure uniform browning.
- Use a meat thermometer to confirm internal temperature reaches 165°F for food safety.
- Experiment with different dipping sauces like chili oil, sweet and sour sauce, or homemade dumpling sauce.
- For extra crispiness, lightly spray potstickers with cooking oil before air frying.
- Garnish with fresh green onions or sesame seeds for an elevated presentation.
