Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 medium-sized potatoes
Seasonings and Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as rosemary or thyme)
Garnish (Optional)
- Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for cooking the potatoes evenly.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry completely with a towel to avoid excess moisture during cooking.
- Slice the Potatoes: Thinly slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds, ensuring the slices are uniform to allow for even cooking and consistent crispiness.
- Make the Seasoning Mixture: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and optionally dried herbs. Mix well to create a seasoned oil blend.
- Coat the Potato Slices: Add the sliced potatoes to the bowl and toss thoroughly until each slice is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture, enhancing flavor and promoting crispy texture.
- Arrange Potatoes in Basket: Place the coated potato slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure each slice cooks evenly; cook in batches if necessary.
- Air Fry the Potatoes: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket halfway through to flip the slices and crisp all sides evenly.
- Check for Doneness: Around the 15-minute mark, check if the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Continue cooking if needed to reach your desired level of crispness.
- Serve and Garnish: Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the air fryer and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure potato slices are uniform in thickness for even cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation and crisping.
- Use dried herbs like rosemary or thyme for an aromatic twist.
- Adjust seasoning quantities to taste, especially salt and pepper.
- If you want extra crispy potatoes, you can increase the air frying time slightly but watch closely to prevent burning.
- Serving immediately after cooking helps maintain crispiness.
- This recipe can be easily doubled if cooking in batches.
