how to make Crispy Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes (Yukon Golds or Russets)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1 tsp garlic granules (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
- 1 tsp dried mixed herbs (Italian seasoning, Herbes de Provence, or a mix of dried parsley, thyme, oregano)
- 1/2 tsp salt (plus more for serving)
Directions
Step 1: Wash potatoes well, leaving the skins on. Slice into rounds about 1/2 cm thick using a knife or mandoline.
Step 2: Place sliced potatoes into a bowl of cold water for a few minutes to remove excess starch. Drain well and pat completely dry using kitchen paper or a clean towel.
Step 3: Transfer dried potatoes to a clean mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic granules, dried mixed herbs, and salt. Toss until all slices are evenly coated.
Step 4: Arrange seasoned potato slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap too much. Cook in batches if necessary.
Step 5: Air fry at 200°C (390°F) for 18 minutes. Halfway through (around 9 minutes), shake the basket to ensure even cooking and crisping. Check for doneness and add 2 more minutes for extra crispiness if desired.
Step 6: Transfer hot, crispy potato rounds to a plate. Serve immediately as a side dish or snack.
