2 medium russet potatoes (, washed)
1 teaspoon olive oilolive-oil
⅛ teaspoon sea saltsalt
⅛ teaspoon black pepperpepper

Instructions (6 steps)

01Cut off ends of the potato and cut a piece of one long side of the potato to create a flat edge. Then make ¼-inch horizontal cuts lengthwise. Then turn the potato so it is lying flat (on the original edge you cut), and cut again in ¼-inch thick strips. We leave peels on.
02Transfer cut potatoes to a bowl of water. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or up to several hours.
03When you're ready to Heat your air fryer to 400°F/200°C.
04Drain the potatoes. Use a paper towel to dry off the potatoes. Transfer potato slices to a bowl and drizzle olive oil over the top. Use your fingers to make sure each potato slice is coated in oil.
05Transfer oiled potatoes to air fryer basket. Cook potatoes for 20 minutes, removing the basket and using tongs to "stir" the potatoes so they're even cooked about halfway through. Cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes if necessary.
