Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized potatoes (Russets or Yukon Gold)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Prep the Potatoes:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes clean. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
- Place a potato between two chopsticks or wooden spoons to prevent cutting all the way through. Slice thinly (about ⅛ inch apart).
Prepare the Seasoning:
- Mix olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, and rosemary in a bowl.
Season the Potatoes:
- Brush the seasoning mixture generously over the potatoes, ensuring it seeps into the slices. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Cook in the Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook for 20 minutes.
- Brush them with more seasoning mixture and cook for another 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy.
Add Finishing Touches:
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the potatoes in the last 5 minutes of cooking, if desired.
- Garnish with fresh rosemary or parsley before serving.
Notes
- Choosing the Potatoes: Starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds are best for achieving a fluffy interior and crispy exterior.
- Soaking Option: For extra-crispy edges, soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning.
- Reheating: Leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.
