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!

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