Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 lbs (907 grams) Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
Seasoning Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Oil Ingredient:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
Instructions
- Meticulously wash and peel potatoes, creating uniform slices approximately ¼ inch thick using a mandoline or precision knife.
- Submerge potato slices in cold water for 15-30 minutes to eliminate excess starch, which guarantees maximum crispiness during air frying.
- After soaking, thoroughly drain potato slices and gently blot with paper towels until completely moisture-free.
- Transfer dried potato slices to a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Gently massage seasonings into potato slices, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the aromatic spice blend.
- Arrange the first batch of seasoned potato slices in a single layer within the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding.
- Configure air fryer to 380°F and cook potatoes for 12-15 minutes, pausing every 5 minutes to shake basket and promote uniform browning.
- Monitor potato slices carefully, seeking a golden-brown exterior with a tender interior; adjust cooking time if necessary.
- Once first batch reaches desired crispness, transfer to a serving platter and repeat process with remaining potato slices.
- Present air-fried potato slices immediately alongside dill aioli or preferred dipping sauce for an irresistible side dish.
Notes
- Soaking potatoes in cold water removes excess starch, helping achieve an irresistibly crispy exterior with a tender inside.
- Pat potato slices completely dry before seasoning to prevent steaming and ensure maximum crunchiness.
- Use a mandoline for uniform, thin slices that cook evenly and provide a consistent texture throughout.
- Shake the air fryer basket regularly during cooking to prevent sticking and promote golden-brown coloration.
- Choose a basket-style air fryer with ample space to prevent overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking.
- Serve immediately for optimal crispness, or keep warm on a baking sheet if preparing multiple batches.
