Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes (about 1.3 lbs), thinly sliced, skin-on or peeled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, or Italian seasoning, optional)
Optional Toppings
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Keep the skins on for extra texture and fiber, or peel if preferred. Slice potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.
- Optional Soaking: Soak the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water for 5-10 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps enhance crispiness. Drain and pat dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
- Toss with Seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried herbs until all slices are evenly coated.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) for about 2 minutes to ensure even cooking from the start.
- Air Fry the Potatoes: Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, slightly overlapping if necessary but avoid overcrowding for best results.
- Cook and Flip: Air fry for 10 minutes, then carefully flip or shake the basket to turn the potatoes. Continue cooking for an additional 2-4 minutes or until the edges are golden and crispy.
- Finish Cooking in Batches: Remove the crispy potato slices as they finish cooking and keep warm. Continue cooking any remaining slices in batches to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked crispy potatoes to a plate, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped herbs if desired. Serve hot with sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side as a dip.
Notes
- Slice potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
- Soaking the potatoes in water removes starch and prevents sogginess.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; work in batches if necessary for best results.
- Adjust seasonings to your taste or try variations like sweet potatoes or spicy seasoning blends.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer to restore crisp texture.
