🥔 Air Fryer Potato Slices Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work well)

• 1–2 tablespoons olive oil

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

• ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)

• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• Optional: Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Potatoes:

   • Wash and peel (optional) the potatoes.

   • Slice them evenly into ⅛–¼ inch rounds. Use a mandoline for consistent thickness if you have one.

2. Soak (Optional but Recommended):

   • Soak the slices in cold water for 15–30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps them crisp up better.

   • Drain and pat them completely dry with a clean towel.

3. Season:

   • Toss the dry slices in olive oil, salt, and your desired seasonings.

4. Preheat the Air Fryer:

   • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.

5. Air Fry:

   • Place the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if needed.

   • Air fry for 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Thinner slices cook faster.

   • Watch closely the last few minutes to prevent burning.

6. Serve:

   • Let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with parmesan or herbs if desired. Serve with your favorite dip.

🔁 Variations:

• Sweet potatoes for a sweeter version.

• Spicy version: Add cayenne or chili powder.

• Cheesy: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the hot slices immediately after cooking.
