Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (0.9 kg) russet potatoes
- 4 onions, thinly sliced
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
- 1/2 cup (118 ml) butter
- salt to taste
- ground white pepper to taste
Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh parsley
Instructions
- Carefully slice potatoes into uniform, thin rounds using a sharp mandoline or knife for consistent cooking.
- Drizzle potato slices with olive oil, ensuring each piece is lightly and evenly coated for optimal crispiness.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté onions until they transform into a soft, caramelized golden hue.
- Introduce minced garlic to the onion mixture, stirring briefly to release aromatic flavors without burning.
- Create alternating layers in the air fryer basket: first a base of potato slices, followed by a generous sprinkle of onion-garlic mixture, then repeat the layering process.
- Generously season each layer with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the overall taste profile.
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C), which helps achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior.
- Cook for 20-22 minutes, pausing midway to gently shake the basket, ensuring even browning and preventing sticking.
- Once potatoes develop a golden-brown crisp and edges are slightly curled, remove from air fryer.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, herbaceous finish and serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Slice potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and crispy texture throughout the dish.
- Use a mandoline sliffer for precise, thin potato cuts that crisp perfectly in the air fryer.
- Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for maximum crispiness and golden-brown results.
- Drain excess moisture from sliced potatoes with a clean kitchen towel to prevent soggy edges and achieve a crunchier finish.
