Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 medium russet potatoes (or Yukon Gold)
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil (or melted butter)
Spices and Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 grams) garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 grams) smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 grams) salt
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 grams) black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 grams) onion powder (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 grams) cayenne (optional, for spice)
Garnish and Dipping Options:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Sour cream or ranch for dipping
Instructions
- Carefully cleanse russet potatoes under cool running water, removing any dirt or blemishes. For uniform thickness, use a mandoline or sharp knife to create precise, thin circular slices approximately 1/4-inch thick.
- Transfer potato rounds to a spacious mixing vessel, drizzling with extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle generously with granulated garlic, smoky paprika, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Gently tumble the slices to ensure comprehensive seasoning coverage.
- Activate the air fryer and calibrate temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing brief preheating time. Strategically layer potato rounds in the basket, ensuring minimal overlap to promote optimal crispness. Avoid overcrowding to facilitate even heat circulation.
- Position basket into air fryer and initiate cooking process. Allow potatoes to transform for approximately 12-15 minutes, utilizing tongs to delicately rotate slices midway through cooking duration. Monitor closely to achieve a golden-brown exterior with a tender interior.
- Once potatoes display a beautiful amber coloration and emit a delightful crispy texture, carefully extract from air fryer. Let rest momentarily on a wire cooling rack to preserve their crunchy perfection before serving immediately.
Notes
- Ensure potato slices are uniformly cut to guarantee even, crispy results every time.
- Pat potato slices dry with paper towels before seasoning to remove excess moisture and achieve maximum crunchiness.
- Experiment with different seasonings like herbs de Provence, ranch seasoning, or chili powder for unique flavor variations.
- For a healthier version, use avocado oil instead of olive oil and sprinkle with nutritional yeast for added protein and cheesy flavor.
