Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes (Russet, Yukon Gold, or red potatoes)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder (or granules)
- 1 tsp dried mixed herbs (Italian seasoning, thyme, or rosemary)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper (optional)
(Serves 4)
Instructions
1. Prep the Potatoes
- Slice potatoes into ¼-inch thick rounds (no need to peel).
- Soak in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch (for extra crispiness).
- Pat dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel.
2. Season
- In a bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, herbs, salt, and pepper.
3. Air Fry
- Preheat air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
- Arrange potatoes in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
- Cook for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
4. Serve Hot!
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan if desired.
Tips for Success
✔ Dry potatoes well—moisture prevents crisping.
✔ Don’t overcrowd the basket for even cooking.
✔ For extra crunch, spritz with a bit more oil before frying.
✔ Storage: Reheat in the air fryer for 3–5 minutes to revive crispiness.
Serving Suggestions
- With ketchup, aioli, or sour cream dip.
- Alongside burgers, steak, or roasted chicken.
