Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized russet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: Begin by thoroughly washing and scrubbing the russet potatoes to remove any dirt. Dry them completely with a kitchen towel. Slice each potato into thin rounds, ensuring they're approximately ¼ inch thick for even cooking.

    Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano or thyme, along with salt and pepper. Toss the potato slices with your hands or a spatula, ensuring each piece is evenly coated in the seasoning mixture.

      Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer temperature to 380°F (193°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating is crucial as it ensures the potatoes begin to cook immediately, which contributes to their crispiness.

        Air Fry the Potatoes: Once your air fryer is heated, carefully arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer within the air fryer basket. It's best to work in batches if necessary to prevent overcrowding, which can inhibit crispiness. Cook the potatoes for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and cooking.

          Check for Doneness: After 12 minutes, take a moment to check the potato slices for crispness. If they’re not quite to your liking, continue air frying for an additional 2-3 minutes, monitoring closely until they achieve your desired level of crispiness.

            Garnish and Serve: Once the potatoes are perfectly crispy, transfer them to a serving platter. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately as a delightful snack or side dish that’s sure to impress! Enjoy your flavorful, crispy air fryer sliced potatoes!
