Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 large potatoes (Russet, Yukon Gold, or Red)
Seasoning
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Optional: Garlic powder, paprika, or your favorite herbs for extra flavor
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into uniform thin rounds, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
- Season Potatoes: Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings such as garlic powder or paprika. Toss the potatoes gently until all slices are well coated with oil and seasonings.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 to 5 minutes. This step helps achieve maximum crispiness.
- Air Fry Potatoes: Arrange the potato slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15 to 18 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning.
- Check Crispiness: After the cooking time, check that the potatoes are crispy and golden. If they need more time, continue cooking in 2-3 minute increments until desired crispiness is achieved.
- Serve: Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and serve immediately as a tasty side dish or snack.
Notes
- For best results, slice potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- If using different potato varieties, cooking times may vary slightly.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation for crispiness.
- You can customize seasonings according to your preference; try rosemary, thyme, or chili powder for variety.
- Leftover air-fried potatoes can be reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispness.
