Tips for Success
Slice evenly: Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to ensure uniform thickness (about 1/8 inch) — this helps them cook evenly and get crispy.
Soak the slices: After slicing, soak potatoes in cold water for 15–30 minutes to remove excess starch. This leads to way crispier results.
Dry thoroughly: After soaking, pat the slices dry with a clean towel.
Don’t overcrowd: Lay slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket; work in batches if needed.
Shake or flip: Halfway through cooking, flip or shake the basket for even browning.
Watch closely: Depending on your air fryer and slice thickness, cooking time can vary slightly — check at the 10-minute mark.

Instructions
1. Prep the potatoes: Wash and slice potatoes into thin rounds (~1/8 inch). Soak in cold water for 15–30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
2. Season: Toss slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like.
3. Air fry:
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Place slices in a single layer (you may need to cook in batches).
Cook for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
4. Cool slightly: Let sit for 1–2 minutes to crisp up even more.
5. Serve hot with your favorite dip or just as-is!
