Instructions
Prep the Potatoes
Wash and scrub the potatoes, then slice them evenly to ensure uniform cooking. Pat the slices dry to remove excess moisture for maximum crispiness.
Season
Place the potato slices in a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder until evenly coated.
Air Fry
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the potatoes in a single layer. Cook for 9–10 minutes, flip or shake, then cook an additional 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp.
Serve
Garnish while hot and serve immediately as a snack or side dish.
