Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes (for about 4 servings)

Seasonings and Oil

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

Optional Variations

  • Cayenne pepper
  • Chili powder
  • Dried thyme
  • Oregano
  • Finely grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds about 1/8 inch thick to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
  2. Season the Slices: Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently to coat each slice evenly. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, dried rosemary, and any additional desired seasonings. Toss again to distribute the flavors thoroughly.
  3. Preheat Your Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes. This preheat helps the potato slices start crisping immediately, improving texture and color.
  4. Air Fry the Potato Slices: Arrange the potato slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap for even cooking. Cook for 12–15 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to promote even browning and crispiness.
  5. Serve Immediately: Remove the crispy potato slices from the basket and let them cool slightly. Enjoy warm and fresh to fully savor their crunch and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, make sure the potato slices are as uniform in thickness as possible.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  • Optional toppings like grated Parmesan cheese can be added immediately after cooking for extra flavor.
  • Experiment with different herbs and spices according to your taste preferences.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer to regain crispiness.
