🥔 Crispy Air Fryer Potato Slices
🍽 Ingredients:
-
2–3 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work best)
-
1–2 tbsp olive oil
-
½ tsp salt
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
½ tsp smoked paprika (optional for smoky flavor)
-
¼ tsp black pepper
-
Optional: chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, parsley), grated Parmesan
🔪 Instructions:
1. Slice the potatoes:
-
Wash and scrub the potatoes (peeling optional).
-
Slice into ¼-inch thick rounds — use a sharp knife or mandoline for even slices.
2. Soak for crispiness (optional but recommended):
-
Place slices in a bowl of cold water for at least 15–30 minutes to remove excess starch.
-
Drain, then pat dry thoroughly with a towel — moisture = sogginess.
3. Season:
-
In a bowl, toss the slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
4. Air fry:
-
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) (if your model requires it).
-
Arrange potato slices in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
-
Air fry for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
✅ Tip: Thicker slices = more tender interior; thinner slices = more chip-like. Adjust timing accordingly.
5. Serve:
-
Garnish with herbs or Parmesan, and serve hot with your favorite dip (ranch, aioli, ketchup, etc.).
📝 Variations:
-
Cheesy: Add Parmesan or cheddar in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
-
Spicy: Add cayenne or chili powder to the seasoning mix.
-
Loaded: Top with bacon bits, green onions, and sour cream after cooking.
