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

Method
 

Prep the Potatoes:
  1. Wash and scrub the potatoes clean. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
  2. 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:
  1. Mix olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, and rosemary in a bowl.
Season the Potatoes:
  1. 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:
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  2. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook for 20 minutes.
  3. Brush them with more seasoning mixture and cook for another 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy.
Add Finishing Touches:
  1. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the potatoes in the last 5 minutes of cooking, if desired.
  2. 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.
