Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium russet potatoes (or Yukon Gold)
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil (or melted butter)
- ½ tsp (2.5 g) garlic powder
- ½ tsp (2.5 g) smoked paprika
- ½ tsp (2.5 g) salt
- ¼ tsp (1.25 g) black pepper
- ¼ tsp (1.25 g) onion powder (optional)
- ¼ tsp (1.25 g) cayenne (optional, for spice)
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Sour cream or ranch for dipping
Instructions
- Potato Preparation: Thoroughly rinse russet potatoes under cool water, removing debris. Utilize a mandoline or sharp knife to create uniform 1/4-inch circular slices with precision.
- Seasoning Technique: Combine potato rounds in a large mixing bowl, drizzling with extra virgin olive oil. Incorporate granulated garlic, smoky paprika, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Gently toss to ensure complete flavor distribution.
- Air Fryer Configuration: Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange potato slices in a single layer within the basket, maintaining minimal overlap to guarantee maximum crispiness and optimal air circulation.
- Cooking Process: Initiate air frying for 12-15 minutes, using tongs to carefully flip slices midway through cooking. Watch attentively to achieve a perfectly golden-brown exterior while maintaining a tender inner texture.
- Finishing Touch: Remove potatoes once they reach a crisp, amber-hued perfection. Transfer to a wire cooling rack for brief resting, allowing excess oil to drain and maintaining their ultimate crunchiness before serving immediately.
Notes
- Select Potato Precision: Choose firm, uniform russet potatoes with minimal blemishes to ensure consistent cooking and crispy results.
- Slice with Skill: Use a mandoline for perfectly even 1/4-inch thick slices, preventing uneven cooking and ensuring maximum crispiness.
- Season Strategically: Massage oil and seasonings thoroughly to guarantee each potato slice is completely and evenly coated for maximum flavor penetration.
- Arrange with Care: Create a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving small gaps between slices to allow hot air circulation and achieve maximum crispness without steaming.
