Ingredients You’ll Need
500 g (1 lb) potatoes
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion granules
½ teaspoon parsley
½ teaspoon rosemary or thyme
¼ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
Salt, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Potatoes
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and leave the skin on for extra crispiness (optional).
Slice them into even, thin slices (about 3–4 mm thick) so they cook evenly.
Step 2 – Season the Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
Paprika
Garlic powder
Onion granules
Parsley
Rosemary or thyme
Black pepper
Salt
Add the potato slices and drizzle with olive oil. Toss well until all slices are coated evenly.
Step 3 – Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 180°C (360°F) and preheat for 3 minutes.
This step helps achieve an even crisp texture.
Step 4 – Air Fry the Potatoes
Arrange the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you may need to cook in batches).
Cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
For extra crispiness, cook 1–2 minutes longer, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 5 – Serve
Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
They pair perfectly with ketchup, garlic aioli, ranch dressing, or spicy mayo.
