Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 450 g potatoes

Seasonings & Coating

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ – 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1½ tsp rice flour
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice potatoes: Slice potatoes into 1/8 inch (0.3 cm) thick slices for even cooking.
  2. Soak slices: Soak the potato slices in cold water for at least 15 minutes. This step is optional but recommended to remove excess starch and help achieve extra crispiness.
  3. Drain and dry: Drain the soaked potato slices thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towels to remove moisture.
  4. Season potatoes: In a mixing bowl, toss the dried potato slices with oil, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and rice flour until all slices are evenly coated.
  5. Preheat air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (390°F) for 3 minutes to get it ready for cooking.
  6. Air fry potatoes: Arrange the marinated potato slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 15-18 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to ensure even crisping.
  7. Serve: Once the potato slices are crispy and golden brown, transfer them to a serving dish and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Soaking the potatoes in cold water helps remove excess starch and results in crispier slices.
  • Rice flour is used here to add extra crispiness, but you can substitute with cornstarch if unavailable.
  • You can adjust the chili powder amount to control the spiciness level.
  • For oven baking, preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and bake the seasoned slices for 20-25 minutes flipping halfway.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket or baking tray to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
