Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 medium Russet potatoes (starchy variety), washed and dried
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Optional Seasonings

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon fresh or dried rosemary
  • Chili powder or cayenne pepper for spicy twist (to taste)
  • Fresh herbs like thyme, parsley, or rosemary for herb-infused variations
  • Grated parmesan or cheddar cheese for cheesy topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes: Wash and dry your potatoes thoroughly. Slice them evenly to about 1/8 inch thick using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife to ensure consistent cooking and crispiness across slices.
  2. Season the slices: In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and any additional seasonings you choose, such as garlic powder, paprika, or rosemary. Make sure each slice is lightly coated to help them crisp up nicely.
  3. Preheat the air fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to heat up for about 3 to 5 minutes to ensure a hot cooking environment that promotes crisping.
  4. Arrange the slices: Place the potato slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding so that hot air can circulate freely for even cooking.
  5. Air fry the slices: Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides become golden brown and crispy. Watch closely near the end to avoid burning.
  6. Serve immediately: Transfer the cooked slices to a cooling rack or paper towel to drain any excess oil. Serve warm for the best crunch, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of sea salt.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer or sharp knife for uniform slicing to ensure even cooking.
  • Pat dry the potato slices well before seasoning to boost crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper hot air circulation.
  • Flip the slices halfway through cooking for evenly browned and crispy results.
  • Adjust cooking time based on potato thickness and air fryer model as needed.
  • Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking.
  • Peeling the potatoes is optional; keeping the skin adds texture and nutrients.
