Ingredients
Russet Potatoes: 2 large – Their starchy texture crisps up beautifully in the air fryer.
Olive Oil: 1 1/2 tablespoons – Helps create that irresistible golden finish.
Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon – Adds a savory kick to every bite.
Paprika: 1/2 teaspoon – For warmth, color, and mild smoky flavor.
Salt: 1/2 teaspoon – Enhances flavor without overpowering.
Black Pepper: 1/4 teaspoon – Adds a subtle heat.
Fresh Parsley: 1 tablespoon, chopped – For garnish and a touch of freshness.
Instructions
Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3–5 minutes.
Combine Ingredients: Wash and scrub potatoes, then slice them into 1/8-inch rounds. Soak in cold water for 20–30 minutes, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: In a mixing bowl, toss the dry potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Assemble the Dish: Arrange the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket—avoid overlapping. Work in batches if needed.
Cook to Perfection: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes, flip each slice, and cook an additional 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy.
Finishing Touches: Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while hot and crisp—great on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Use uniform slices to ensure even cooking.
Soak and dry slices thoroughly to remove starch and improve crisping.
Season lightly before cooking, and adjust flavors afterward.
