Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 medium-sized Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and dried

Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional spices and herbs: chili powder or dried rosemary

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly, then slice them into thin rounds about 1/8 inch thick to ensure even, crispy cooking.
  2. Season Potatoes: Place the potato slices in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat each slice evenly with the seasoning.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes for optimal crispiness.
  4. Arrange Slices: Lay the potato slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap. Cook in batches if necessary to maintain crisp texture.
  5. Air Fry First Side: Cook the slices for 8-10 minutes until they begin to turn golden brown and crisp.
  6. Flip Potato Slices: Using tongs, carefully turn each slice to ensure even cooking on both sides, then air fry for another 8-10 minutes.
  7. Check Doneness: Assess the slices for the desired golden crispiness; add an extra 1-2 minutes if needed but avoid burning.
  8. Serve: Transfer the crispy potato slices to a serving plate. Optionally sprinkle more salt or fresh herbs on top and serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For evenly cooked slices, ensure all potato slices are approximately the same thickness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to maintain crispiness; cook in batches if necessary.
  • Add optional herbs like rosemary or chili powder to customize flavor.
  • Use tongs to flip the slices to prevent breaking them.
  • Serve immediately for best crunch; leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer.
