Main Ingredients
- 2 large Russet Potatoes
- 1–2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
Optional Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- Fresh Herbs (like 1-2 teaspoons of rosemary or thyme, chopped)
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes if preferred, then slice into even rounds about 1/4-inch thick to ensure even cooking and perfect crispiness.
- Season the Slices: Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle salt, black pepper, and optional garlic powder or herbs. Toss gently to coat each slice evenly without breaking them.
- Preheat Your Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and let it warm up for about 3 minutes to help start crisping the potatoes immediately.
- Air Fry the Potatoes: Arrange the potato slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the potatoes halfway through to promote even browning.
- Check for Doneness: The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside. Add a few more minutes if you prefer them crunchier, watching closely.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer to a serving plate, adjust seasoning if needed, and garnish with fresh herbs or your favorite dip for an irresistible snack or side dish.
Notes
- Use a mandoline for uniform slices to ensure even cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the basket; arrange slices in a single layer for maximum crispiness.
- Rinse and dry potato slices thoroughly to remove excess starch and achieve crunchier results.
- Use just enough oil to lightly coat the slices to prevent sogginess.
- Adjust cooking time based on slice thickness—thicker slices require longer cooking.
