Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2–3 medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and dried
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Herbs and Spices

  • Paprika, garlic powder, or fresh rosemary (optional)
  • Cayenne pepper or chili powder for a spicy kick (optional)
  • Minced garlic and chopped fresh thyme or parsley for garlic herb variation (optional)
  • Grated Parmesan for a cheesy twist (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Potatoes: Start by washing and drying your potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into even rounds about 1/4 inch thick to ensure they cook uniformly and become perfectly crispy in the air fryer.
  2. Season the Slices: Transfer the slices to a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any other preferred seasonings. Toss everything well so each slice is lightly coated.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes. A hot air fryer basket helps jumpstart the crisping process on your potatoes.
  4. Arrange the Potatoes: Place the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow air to circulate properly for even cooking and crunch.
  5. Air Fry Until Crispy: Cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Keep an eye on them to reach your desired golden-brown crispiness without burning.
  6. Serve Immediately: Once done, remove the potatoes and let them cool slightly for a minute before serving hot for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline or a sharp knife for even slicing to guarantee consistent cooking.
  • Pat the potato slices dry before seasoning to remove excess moisture and ensure crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; give space between slices for hot air circulation to avoid sogginess.
  • Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking for even crispiness on both sides.
  • Use starchy potatoes like Russets for the best crispy texture compared to waxy varieties.
