Ingredients
For the Potatoes:
- 2 lbs Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes:
Wash and slice the potatoes into ¼-inch thick rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife for even cooking.
-
Soak for crispiness:
Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for 15–30 minutes to remove excess starch. This step helps them crisp up beautifully. -
Dry thoroughly:
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry using paper towels to prevent sogginess. -
Season the slices:
In a mixing bowl, toss the dried potato slices with olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated. -
Preheat the air fryer:
If your air fryer requires preheating, set it to 380°F (193°C). -
Air fry in batches:
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap for even cooking.
Air fry at 380°F for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to ensure uniform crisping. -
Check for doneness:
The potato slices should be golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining tender inside. Repeat the process with any remaining slices. -
Serve immediately:
Enjoy your crispy potato slices hot with your favorite dipping sauces!
Notes
- For maximum crispiness, serve immediately after cooking.
- Avoid overcrowding the basket—cook in batches if needed.
- Try flavor variations like smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, or chili powder for a twist.
- These potatoes pair perfectly with dipping sauces like ketchup, garlic aioli, spicy mayo, cheese sauce, or sour cream with chives.
- For a full meal, serve with mains like Creamy Dijon Chicken or a comforting Zuppa Toscana Soup.
