• Use a mandoline slicer for even thickness.

❓ Q&A Section

Q1: Can I use any type of potato?

A: Yes! Yukon Gold potatoes give a buttery flavor, while Russets get extra crispy.

Q2: My potatoes didn’t get crispy. What happened?

A: Common reasons:

• Slices were too thick

• Not enough oil

• Air fryer basket too crowded

• Potatoes not dried properly before seasoning

Q3: Can I make these oil-free?

A: Yes! They won’t be as crispy, but you can skip oil or spray lightly with cooking spray. Increase cooking time by 2–3 minutes.

Q4: Can I add cheese?

A: Definitely! Add grated parmesan during the last 3 minutes of cooking.

Q5: Can I prepare these ahead?

A: Yes. Slice and soak potatoes in cold water, then drain and dry before seasoning and cooking.

Q6: How do I reheat leftovers?

A: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 3–4 minutes—they’ll crisp right back up!

Q7: Can I use sweet potatoes?

A: Yes! Just increase cook time by 2–4 minutes since sweet potatoes take longer to crisp.
