INSTRUCTIONS

Start by washing and scrubbing your potatoes, then pat them dry.

Slice them crosswise and lengthwise into thin slices. Be careful not to cut all the way through. The potato petals must still be attached to the base of the potato.

Place the potatoes in the microwave, and cook on high for 5-7 minutes until soft.

Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (195°C).

Remove potatoes from the microwave and brush them with olive oil or melted butter, then sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, and/or seasoning of choice.

Place the potatoes in the air fryer and cook on airfry setting for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown with crispy skin.
