SLICED POTATOES IN THE AIR FRYER

by

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
    • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. Slice the Potatoes:
    • Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly.
    • Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Uniform slices ensure even cooking.
  3. Soak the Potatoes:
    • Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 20-30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier potatoes.
  4. Dry the Potatoes:
    • Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensuring the slices are dry is crucial for achieving crispiness.

Step 2: Season the Potatoes

  1. Season the Slices:
    • In a mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme or rosemary (if using), salt, and pepper. Ensure the slices are evenly coated with the seasoning.

Step 3: Cook the Potatoes

  1. Arrange in the Air Fryer:
    • Place the seasoned potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  2. Air Fry:
    • Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time. The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Check for Crispiness:
    • If the slices are not crispy enough, air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  2. Garnish and Serve:
    • Transfer the crispy potato slices to a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, aioli, or ranch dressing.
