Potatoes
- 4 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and sliced 1/4 inch thick
Seasonings
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Optional Additions
- Fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme, chopped
- Shredded cheddar or parmesan cheese (for cheesy variation)
- Chili powder or cayenne pepper (for spicy kick)
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dry your potatoes thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice them evenly into about 1/4 inch thick slices to ensure they cook uniformly and get that perfect crisp.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure every slice is lightly coated for the best flavor and crispiness.
- Preheat and Arrange in the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between them to allow hot air circulation.
- Air Fry to Crispy Perfection: Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Keep an eye on them as cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and potato thickness.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once golden and crispy, carefully remove the potatoes from the air fryer and serve hot. Optionally, sprinkle fresh herbs or a little extra salt right before serving for added brightness.
Notes
- Slice evenly using a mandoline or sharp knife to ensure uniform cooking.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation for crispiness.
- Flip or shake the potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning.
- Dry potatoes well before seasoning to help oil and spices adhere and improve crispiness.
- Season potatoes immediately before air frying to prevent them from drawing out moisture.
