Directions:

• Wash and dry each potato. I have used 4 medium potatoes here that are slightly more than 1 lb. In weight. Yukon gold work well.
• Keeping each potato between two chopsticks, slice using a sharp knife such that the bottom stays intact. You can make the slices as thin or thick as you like.
• Now microwave the potato for 3 minutes to cook it slightly. This reduces the air frying time. You can choose to air fry completely raw potato as well.
• Take together vegan butter and olive oil. Add salt, pepper, paprika and minced garlic to it and mix well.
• Brush your sliced potatoes with this mixture ensuring that every slice is coated well.
• Some of it will slide down and that’s fine. You can reuse that.
• Preheat air fryer at 360F or 180C for 5 minutes. Place the potatoes using tongs in air fryer basket.
• Air fry for 10-15 minutes at 360F or 180C till your potatoes are nice and done. You can use a knife to poke and see if the potato seems done.
• If you have not microwaved your potato, you will take about 25 minutes air frying time depending upon the size of your potatoes.
• Preheat oven to 400F. Lay the potatoes on a baking sheet in a baking tray. Bake for about 40-50 minutes till golden brown and cooked. You can cook larger batches in the oven if you so desire.
• Brush once more with the spiced vegan butter mix when taken out to enhance the taste of the seasonings.
• Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro leaves (optional) and serve hot with a dip of choice.
