Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Directions
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel the potatoes and slice them using a mandoline or a sharp knife. The slices should be about ¼ inch thick to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy.
- Soak the Potatoes:
- Place the potato slices in a medium bowl and cover them with cold water. Soak for 15-30 minutes, then drain and pat the potato slices dry with paper towels. Soaking the potatoes helps remove excess starch, which allows them to become crispier when cooked.
- Season the Potatoes:
- Return the dried potato slices to the bowl. Add the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Toss the slices to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Air Fry the Potatoes:
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Place half of the potato slices in the bottom of a 7-quart (or larger) basket-style air fryer. Make sure the slices are in a single layer for even cooking.
- Air fry the potato slices for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking. Check for doneness after 12 minutes; the potato slices should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and soft inside.
- Serve:
- Remove the cooked potato slices and transfer them to a platter or baking sheet. Serve immediately, or keep them warm while you cook the remaining potato slices.
- These sliced potatoes are perfect on their own, but they’re even better served with dill aioli or your favorite dipping sauce.
