Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium-sized Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
  • 12 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Optional Spices and Variations

  • Paprika, garlic powder, or dried herbs like rosemary
  • Parmesan or cheddar cheese (for cheesy twist)
  • Cayenne pepper or chili flakes (for spicy kick)
  • Fresh herbs like thyme, parsley, or dill (for herb infusion)
  • Sweet potatoes as a substitute for regular potatoes
  • Nutritional yeast and dried dill with garlic powder (for vegan ranch style)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing and peeling the potatoes if desired. Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, cut them into even, thin slices about 1/8-inch thick to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
  2. Season and Oil: Place the potato slices in a large bowl. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle salt, black pepper, and any optional spices you prefer. Toss gently to coat every slice evenly.
  3. Preheat Your Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 3 to 5 minutes. This step helps the slices start crisping immediately once inside the basket.
  4. Arrange and Cook: Place the potato slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Air fry for 12–15 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through cooking to achieve even golden crispiness on both sides.
  5. Check and Serve: Once the slices are golden and crisp, promptly remove them to avoid steaming. Serve hot for the ultimate crunch or let cool slightly for a delicious snack later.

Notes

  • Use even thickness slices for consistent cooking and crisp texture.
  • Preheat the air fryer to improve browning and crunch.
  • Use a light amount of oil to avoid sogginess.
  • Flip slices halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
  • Cook in a single layer to maximize airflow and crispiness; do batches if necessary.
  • Add delicate herbs or cheese after cooking to preserve flavor and texture.
