Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced (about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick)
Seasonings & Oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional Garnishes
- Chopped parsley
- Grated Parmesan
- Dipping sauces for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the potatoes.
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash and thinly slice the russet potatoes using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer to ensure even thickness. Pat the slices dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve crispiness.
- Season the potato slices: In a large bowl, combine the potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat all slices evenly with the seasoning and oil.
- Arrange in air fryer basket: Lay the seasoned potato slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overlapping, which can prevent crisping.
- Air fry the slices: Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning. Keep an eye on thinner slices as they cook faster and can burn easily.
- Serve immediately: Once golden and crispy on the edges, remove the potato slices from the air fryer. Garnish with chopped parsley or grated Parmesan if desired, and serve with your choice of dipping sauces.
Notes
- Great as a side dish or snack.
- Try different seasonings like ranch powder, chili lime, or Cajun spice for variety.
- For extra crispy slices, soak the potato slices in cold water for 20 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch, then dry thoroughly.
