Potatoes
- 3 medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
Seasonings and Oil
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
