Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium Russet potatoes (about 300g)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch) using a mandoline or sharp knife.
- Soak the potato slices in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain and thoroughly dry the potato slices with paper towels.
- Toss the dried slices in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for about five minutes.
- Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, cooking in batches if necessary. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
- Serve immediately for maximum crispiness.
