  • Total Time: 25-28 minutes
  • Yield: 3-4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Oil

  • 2–3 medium Russet potatoes, firm and sliced about 1/4 inch thick
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes if desired, then slice them evenly about 1/4 inch thick to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Season the Potatoes: Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika over the potatoes. Toss thoroughly to coat each slice evenly.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for 3-5 minutes to help achieve the perfect crispy texture.
  4. Arrange Potatoes in Air Fryer Basket: Place the seasoned potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
  5. Cook and Flip: Air fry the potatoes for 15-18 minutes, flipping or shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides become golden and crispy.
  6. Serve Immediately: Carefully remove the potatoes from the air fryer basket and serve right away to enjoy their peak crunchiness.

Notes

  • Slice potatoes evenly using a mandoline or sharp knife for uniform cooking.
  • Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation and crispiness; cook in batches if necessary.
  • Pat potato slices dry before seasoning to remove excess moisture and improve crispiness.
  • Shake or flip the basket halfway through cooking for even browning.
  • Cooking at 400°F (200°C) ensures a golden, crunchy texture without drying the potatoes.
  • Variations include adding herbs like rosemary or thyme, spices like cayenne pepper, or sprinkling cheese near the end of cooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
  • For freezing, flash freeze on a baking sheet then transfer to freezer-safe bags for up to 1 month.
