👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the Potatoes

  • Wash and scrub well.
  • Slice evenly into thin rounds (a mandoline helps).

4. Air Fry

  • Cook for 9–10 minutes, then shake or flip.
  • Continue cooking for another 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy around the edges.

5. Serve

  • Sprinkle with parsley or Parmesan while warm.
