Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large Russet potatoes (or preferred type)
  • 1–2 tsp olive oil or cooking spray
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Optional Herbs and Spices

  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary or fresh rosemary
  • Optional variations: cayenne pepper, chili powder, grated parmesan, nutritional yeast

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes: Wash and dry potatoes thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, cut potatoes into thin, even slices about 1/8 inch thick to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  2. Season the slices: Place potato slices in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Toss with salt, black pepper, and any optional herbs or spices you prefer, making sure all slices are lightly and evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes to help achieve a crispy texture from the start.
  4. Arrange slices in the air fryer basket: Lay potato slices in a single layer without overlapping to allow air circulation for even crisping. Cook in batches if necessary depending on basket size.
  5. Air fry until crispy: Cook slices for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through to promote even browning. Watch closely near the end to avoid burning.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Remove potato slices promptly when crisp and golden. Sprinkle additional salt or herbs if desired and serve immediately for best texture.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for uniform slice thickness and even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to prevent steaming instead of crisping.
  • Pat potato slices dry before seasoning to remove excess moisture for crunchier results.
  • Shake or toss the basket halfway through cooking for even browning.
  • Adjust time and temperature slightly according to your air fryer model.
  • Soaking potato slices in cold water for 20-30 minutes can enhance crispiness but is optional.
  • Reheat leftover slices in air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes to restore crispness.
