Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes, choose larger potatoes
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil, or more if needed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder, for stronger flavor use 1 medium minced garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground paprika
- fresh thyme, for serving
- black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cut the potatoes lengthwise about ¼ inches thick slices. Not very thin. With a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out potato hearts. I used 2-inch cookie heart. This step is optional and you can simply leave the round slices as they are.2 pounds Russet potatoes
- Place potatoes in a large bowl and toss in seasonings. Add olive oil and combine. Spray the air fryer tray lightly with oil before adding the seasoned potato slices.1-2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground paprika, black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 F according to manufacturer instructions. (Mine was 375 F for 5 minutes) Cosori 5.8 quart. You could also use something like a Ninja Foodi air fryer.)
- Place the potatoes in the basket in single layer. Don't overcrowd the basket and cook in multiple batches. Air fry potatoes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-11 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through. Potato slices should have a golden brown edges once done cooking.
- Serve with fresh herbs, as an appetizer with dipping sauces, as a side dish or for breakfast instead of hash browns. If you like this recipe, please leave a 5-star rating, thank you!fresh thyme
Notes
- Use as little as 1 tablespoon of oil. More oil gives a crisper, more flavorful result, but the air fryer lets you get away with less if you want to keep it light.
- Starchy potatoes crisp best. Russet and Idaho are the ones to reach for. Yukon Gold works well too. Waxy reds will crisp, but they need a few extra minutes.
- Do not crowd the basket. A single layer with space between the slices is what lets the hot air circulate. Cook in batches rather than piling them in.
- Reheat in the air fryer, not the microwave. 375°F for 3-4 minutes brings the crisp back. The microwave just makes them soggy. They will take one or two reheats at most.
