- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
3. Marinate the Potatoes:
- Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a towel.
- Place the potatoes in a large bowl, pour the marinade over them, and toss well to ensure all pieces are coated.
- Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) if your model requires preheating.
5. Air Fry the Potatoes:
- Place the marinated potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time, until the potatoes are golden and crispy.
6. Garnish and Serve:
- Once done, transfer the potatoes to a serving dish.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for an added touch of freshness.
- Serve hot, optionally with a side of dipping sauce like aioli or ketchup.
Tips:
- Potato Selection: Choosing the right type of potato is crucial. Russet potatoes are ideal for their fluffy texture when cooked, but Yukon golds also work well for a creamier interior.
- Drying the Potatoes: Ensure the potatoes are thoroughly dried after soaking to help the marinade stick better and to achieve a crispier outcome.
- Marinating Time: If you have time, letting the potatoes marinate longer (up to an hour) can enhance the flavor depth.
- Spacing in Air Fryer: Keep space between the potato slices when air frying to ensure they crisp up properly. Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of frying.
