Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 medium potatoes (Russets for crispiness or Yukon Gold for creaminess)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)

Optional Variations

  • Fresh or dried rosemary, thyme, or parsley (for herb infusion)
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper or chili powder (for spice)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese (for cheesy upgrade)
  • Smoked paprika and nutritional yeast (for vegan cheesy flavor)
  • Sweet potatoes (as a substitute for regular potatoes)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes if desired. Slice them evenly about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick to ensure consistent cooking and crispiness.
  2. Season the Slices: Place the potato slices in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using). Toss gently to coat all slices thoroughly.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Turn on the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 3 to 5 minutes to promote even cooking and optimal crispiness.
  4. Arrange in the Basket: Lay the potato slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket without overcrowding to allow for proper air circulation and crisping.
  5. Cook Until Crispy: Air fry the slices for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Monitor for golden color and desired crispness as cooking time may vary by model.
  6. Serve Immediately: Carefully remove the golden, crispy potato slices from the air fryer and serve hot for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for consistent, uniform potato slices.
  • Pat potato slices dry before seasoning to remove excess moisture and improve crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure proper air circulation and even cooking.
  • Flip or shake the slices halfway through cooking to get an even crispy texture on both sides.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on slice thickness to achieve the perfect crispness.
