Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Potatoes
-
Wash and peel (optional) the potatoes.
-
Slice into ¼-inch thick rounds for even cooking.
2. Season the Slices
-
In a large bowl, toss potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Add Parmesan cheese if you’d like an extra cheesy crunch.
3. Air Fry the Potatoes
-
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Arrange potato slices in a single layer in the basket (you may need to cook in batches).
-
Air fry for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

-
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce—ranch, garlic aioli, or ketchup.
