- ½ teaspoon salt
🔪 Instructions
1. Prepare the Potatoes
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and slice them into ½ cm thick rounds. Keeping the slices even will help them cook uniformly.
2. Soak & Dry
Place the slices in a pot of water to prevent browning and remove excess starch.
Once all are cut, drain them and pat completely dry using kitchen paper or a clean towel.
3. Season
Transfer the dried slices into a bowl. Add olive oil, garlic granules, dried herbs, and salt.
Mix well until each slice is evenly coated with seasoning.
4. Cook in the Air Fryer
Place the seasoned potato slices in the air fryer basket, spreading them out evenly.
Cook at 200°C (390°F) for 18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway to ensure even cooking.
If needed, cook for an extra 2 minutes for added crispiness.
5. Serve & Enjoy
Once golden and crispy, serve them hot. Enjoy as a snack, side dish, or with your favorite dip like garlic mayo, aioli, or spicy ketchup.
