Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large potatoes*
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing the 4 large potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Use a vegetable brush if necessary to remove any dirt. This step is crucial as you want clean potatoes for the best flavor.
- Slice the Potatoes: Slice the cleaned potatoes into 1/2 cm thick rounds. A sharp knife works best to achieve even slices. Even thickness ensures that all slices cook uniformly, preventing some from being undercooked while others are overcooked.
- Soak and Dry: Place the potato slices in a pot of water as you slice them. This helps to remove excess starch, which can make the potatoes gummy. Make sure to let them soak for about 10 minutes.
- Drain and Pat Dry: Once all slices are ready, drain the water and lay the slices on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat them dry thoroughly. This is an important step to ensure that the potatoes become crispy instead of steaming in the air fryer.
- Season the Slices: In a mixing bowl, combine the dried potato slices with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic granules, 1 tsp dried mixed herbs, and 1/2 tsp salt. Toss until the slices are evenly coated. Use your hands or a spatula to ensure that every slice is seasoned well.
- Air Fry: Transfer the seasoned potato slices to the air fryer basket, spreading them out evenly. Do not overcrowd the basket; this will prevent proper air circulation. Cook at 200°C (390°F) for 18 minutes.
- Shake Halfway: At the 9-minute mark, shake the basket gently to ensure even cooking. You’re looking for those edges to start turning golden brown and crispy.
- Check for Doneness: After 18 minutes, check the slices. They should be golden and crispy on the outside while remaining soft inside. If they need more time, cook for an additional 2 minutes, checking again for that perfect texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once done, carefully remove the crispy potato slices from the basket. Serve them hot as a side dish or a tasty snack!
