Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes Similar size for even cooking
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter For brushing potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly.
  • Slice a small piece off the bottom of each potato to help it sit flat.
  • Place the potato between two chopsticks or wooden spoons to prevent slicing all the way through.
  • Make thin slices (about 1/8 inch) down the potato, ensuring they stay connected at the bottom.

Cooking

  • Preheat the air fryer at 375°F for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Brush the potatoes with olive oil or melted butter, ensuring oil gets into the slices.
  • Place the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket with space around them.
  • Air fry at 375°F to 400°F for about 25 to 40 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes, until the edges are crispy and the center is tender.
  • Halfway through, brush with additional butter or oil for better browning.

Notes

For variations, try garlic parmesan, loaded style, or spicy mixing. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
