Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 3-4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon zest
- 1 tbsp fresh lavender chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ~1 teaspoon kosher salt if desired
Instructions
- Scrub and wash potatoes. Cut potatoes into long, thin slices that are about 1/3" thick. Transfer cut potatoes to a large bowl of salted water (use about 1 tbsp of salt per gallon of water). Let potatoes soak for 30 minutes.
- While potatoes are soaking, cover two baking racks with paper towels. After potatoes have soaked, remove them from the water and place them on prepared racks to dry for 45-60 minutes.
- Preheat air fryer to 370 degrees.
- Toss potatoes in a large bowl with olive oil and lemon juice.
- In a small bowl, stir together lemon zest, lavender, thyme, black pepper, and sea salt. Toss with potatoes.
- Place coated potatoes in air fryer in a single layer. If desired, sprinkle a bit of kosher salt over the potatoes. Cook for 8 minutes, then toss, ensuring potatoes are still in a single layer before returning to air fryer. Cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
