Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispy results.
Prepare Potatoes: Clean and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Season the Potato Slices: Drizzle the olive oil over the potato slices, then sprinkle smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and onion powder. Toss well to coat all slices evenly with the oil and seasonings.
Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the potato slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer, allowing them to overlap slightly for best crispness.
Cook the Potatoes: Air fry the potatoes at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, shaking or tossing the slices every 5 minutes to ensure they cook evenly and crisp up on all sides.
Serve: Once golden and crispy, serve the potato slices hot and enjoy them as a delicious side or snack.

Notes

For extra crispiness, soak potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking and dry them thoroughly.
Adjust seasoning to suit your taste preferences, adding more salt or spices as desired.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket for best results; cook in batches if necessary.
Russet potatoes are ideal for their starch content, but you can experiment with other varieties.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, aioli, or ranch dressing.
