Ingredients :
- 3 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes (about 1.3 lbs), thinly sliced, skin-on or peeled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)

Optional toppings:
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives

Directions :

- Air fry for 10 minutes, then flip or shake the basket gently. Continue cooking for another 2-4 minutes until the potatoes are golden and crisp at the edges.
- Remove crispy slices as they finish cooking and let the remaining slices cook as needed. If the slices stick, shake the basket halfway through cooking.
