  • medium bowl
  • Small mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • Paper towels
  • Air Fryer (7-quart or larger)
  • Tongs
  • large plate (or baking sheet)

Ingredients Needed

For the Potatoes

  • 2 pounds baking potatoes (russet or Yukon gold)
  • cold water (enough to cover potatoes)
  • 2 tablespoons high-quality oil (avocado oil, olive oil, etc.)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (or smoked paprika)
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt (more or less to taste)

For the Creamy Herb Sauce

  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs of choice (chives, parsley, dill, etc.)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (more or less to taste)

Instructions

  • Peel 2 pounds baking potatoes completely, then carefully slice peeled potatoes into ¼-inch-thick discs using sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
  • Place sliced potatoes in medium bowl. Fill bowl with cold water, covering potatoes completely, and set aside. Soak potatoes 15 to 30 minutes.
  • While potatoes soak, add 1 cup full-fat sour cream, 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs of choice, and ¼ teaspoon salt to small mixing bowl. Whisk ingredients together until fully combined. Taste sauce and adjust ingredients as desired.
  • When satisfied with flavor of sauce, place bowl in refrigerator and chill sauce until ready to serve.
  • After potatoes have soaked 15 to 30 minutes, cover flat work surface with 2 to 3 layers paper towels. Arrange soaked potato slices on top of paper towels. Gently pat potatoes completely dry with additional paper towels.
  • Preheat air fryer to 380° Fahrenheit.
  • Wipe medium bowl completely dry, then return dried potato slices to bowl. Add 2 tablespoons high-quality oil, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon paprika, 1 pinch cayenne pepper, and ½ teaspoon salt to bowl. Toss or stir until potato slices are completely coated in oil and spices.
  • Arrange 50% of seasoned potato slices in bottom of air fryer basket. Return basket to air fryer.
  • Air fry potatoes 5 minutes, then remove basket from air fryer and shake basket to toss potatoes. Return basket to air fryer. Repeat, shaking basket every 3 to 5 minutes until potatoes are golden brown and crispy, approximately 12 to 15 minutes total.
  • When potatoes are as crispy as desired, transfer potatoes to large plate or baking sheet. Set aside.
  • Add remaining 50% of seasoned potato slices to air fryer basket. Repeat process with remaining potato slices, shaking basket to toss potatoes every 3 to 5 minutes.
  • When all potatoes slices have been air fried, serve potato slices immediately with prepared sauce (or other sauce of choice).
