Directions

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
   Wash the potatoes thoroughly and slice them into ½ cm thick rounds.

2. Soak and Dry:
   Place the potato slices in a pot of water as you slice them to remove excess starch. Once all slices are ready, drain the water and pat them dry with kitchen paper or a clean kitchen towel.

3. Season the Slices:
   In a bowl, toss the dried potato slices with olive oil, garlic granules, dried mixed herbs, and salt until evenly coated.

4. Air Fry:
   Transfer the seasoned slices to the air fryer basket, spreading them out evenly. Cook at 200°C (390°F) for 18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The slices should be golden and crispy on the outside while staying soft inside. If needed, cook for an additional 2 minutes.
