Crispy Airfryer Hasselback Potato Chips

1.Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F).

2.Carefully slice the potatoes into very thin rounds, about 1-2mm thick. A mandoline slicer is highly recommended for uniform thickness. Do not separate the slices completely; leave them attached at the bottom, similar to a Hasselback potato, but much thinner.

3.In a medium bowl, toss the sliced potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using), ensuring all slices are lightly coated.

4.Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can prevent crisping.

5.Air fry for 15-20 minutes, flipping and gently separating the slices every 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model and potato thickness.

6.Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately as a snack or side dish.
