Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 3 medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes

Seasonings and Oil

  • 12 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil for vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes if desired. Slice them uniformly about ¼ inch thick to ensure even cooking and a consistent crispy texture.
  2. Season the Slices: Place the potato slices in a mixing bowl. Toss them with olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder until each slice is lightly coated for maximum flavor and crispness.
  3. Arrange in the Air Fryer: Lay the potato slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket without overcrowding to allow air circulation, which helps achieve even cooking and crispiness.
  4. Air Fry Until Golden: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook for 12 to 15 minutes. Flip or shake the basket halfway through to ensure both sides become evenly golden brown and crisp.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the crispy potato slices to a serving platter immediately to avoid steaming. Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs, cheese, or dipping sauces as desired.

Notes

  • Slice potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation.
  • Using fresh potatoes enhances crispiness and flavor.
  • Pat the potato slices dry before seasoning to prevent sogginess.
  • Flip or shake the basket halfway through cooking to promote even browning.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container refrigerated for 2-3 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes for best texture.
  • Freezing raw sliced potatoes and cooking from frozen is possible but may affect texture.
