Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work best)
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil (or your preferred cooking oil)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or rosemary)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prep the Potatoes:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds extra crispiness and flavor.
- Slice the potatoes into about 1/4-inch thick rounds. Try to keep the slices even in size so they cook uniformly.
- Season the Potatoes:
- Place the potato slices in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss them well to coat evenly.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss again to ensure each slice is well-seasoned.
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Arrange the Potato Slices:
- Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If necessary, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Air Fry the Potatoes:
- Cook the potato slices at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The slices should be golden and crispy on the edges when done.
- Serve:
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the air fryer and garnish with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for added flavor.
- Serve immediately as a side dish or snack. They’re perfect with a dipping sauce like ketchup, aioli, or ranch!
Tips:
- If you want extra crispy slices, you can spray a light coating of cooking spray on top before air frying.
- Feel free to experiment with other seasonings, such as smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, or Parmesan cheese for different flavor profiles.
Enjoy your crispy air fryer potato slices!
