Your Foolproof Method to Potato Perfection
Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
Scrub potatoes clean (peel if desired) and slice into ¼-inch thick rounds. For even cooking, try to keep slices uniform!

Step 2: Season Generously
In a large bowl, toss potato slices with oil and all seasonings until every slice is evenly coated.

Step 3: Air Fry to Crispy Glory

Arrange slices in a single layer in air fryer basket

Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 12-16 minutes

Flip halfway through cooking time

Done when golden brown and crispy at the edges

Step 4: Serve Immediately

Sprinkle with fresh herbs or Parmesan

Serve hot for the best texture!

SOAK FOR EXTRA CRISPNESS: Soak sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch

DON’T CROWD THE BASKET: Cook in batches if needed for maximum crispiness

SHAKE, DON’T FLIP: Some air fryers work better with a good shake instead of individual flipping

TEST FOR DONENESS: Potatoes should be fork-tender and edges should be browned
