Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium to large Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Seasonings

  • Garlic powder (optional)
  • Paprika (optional)
  • Dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano (optional)
  • Chili powder or cayenne pepper for spicy variation (optional)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for cheesy finish (optional)
  • Smoked paprika or liquid smoke for smoky flavor (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Slice evenly about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
  2. Season and Oil: Place the potato slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and any optional seasonings you prefer. Toss well to coat each slice evenly.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for approximately 5 minutes to help crisp the slices faster and prevent sticking.
  4. Cook in Batches: Arrange the potato slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Air fry for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
  5. Check for Crispness and Serve: Once golden and crunchy, remove the slices promptly to avoid sogginess. Serve immediately for best taste and texture. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs or sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for even thickness.
  • Soak slices in cold water for 20-30 minutes to remove excess starch for better crispiness.
  • Dry potato slices thoroughly after soaking to avoid sogginess.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed.
  • Flip slices halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze cooked slices on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to restore crispness.
