Ingredients
3–4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
1½–2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and scrub the potatoes well. Slice them into thin, even rounds about ¼-inch thick for the best crispy texture.
2. Season
Place the potato slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then add garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until every slice is evenly coated.
3. Air Fry
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
4. Serve
Transfer the crispy potato slices to a serving plate. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips for Extra Crispiness
Soak the potato slices in cold water for 20 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch.
Pat them completely dry before seasoning.
Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
