👩🍳 Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prepare Potatoes
-
Wash and peel (optional) potatoes.

Ensure all slices are evenly coated.

Place potato slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
-
Cook at 200°C (400°F) for 12–15 minutes, shaking basket halfway through for even cooking.

⭐ Tips for Best Results
-
Slice potatoes uniformly for even cooking.
-
Avoid overcrowding the basket – cook in batches if needed.

Soaking in cold water removes starch and improves crispiness.
-
Use olive oil or avocado oil for a healthier option.
🔁 Variations

Add rosemary or thyme for a herby flavor.

Toss with cajun seasoning for a spicy twist.

Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a different flavor.
