Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of chili powder or sprinkle dried rosemary before cooking.
• Make sure to slice the potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
• Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture or Russet for crispy edges.
• If you want crispier results, soak the slices in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning, then dry thoroughly.

Storage

Store leftover potato slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven to restore crispiness, as microwaving may make them soggy.

FAQs

Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?

Yes, while Russet and Yukon Gold are recommended for their texture, you can try red or fingerling potatoes. Keep in mind the cooking time and crispiness may vary.

Do I need to soak the potato slices before air frying?

Soaking is optional but helps remove excess starch for a crispier finish. If you choose to soak, be sure to dry the slices thoroughly before seasoning.
