Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized medium-sized potatoes (Yukon gold or russet work best)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- to taste Salt
- to taste Freshly cracked black pepper
- to taste Fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme), finely chopped (optional)
- to taste Grated cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water, scrubbing away any dirt, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Use a sharp knife to make thin, even slices across the potato, stopping about ¼ inch from the bottom to keep the slices connected.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add herbs if you want to infuse the flavor.
- Brush the oil mixture over the potatoes, ensuring the mixture seeps into the sliced sections.
- Place the prepared potatoes in the air fryer basket, potentially laying down parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Cooking
- Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and tender.
- In the last few minutes of cooking, sprinkle cheese over the top if using, allowing it to melt and get bubbly.
- Once done, carefully remove the potatoes from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
