Instructions
Wash and dry potatoes. With a sharp knife slice each one every 1/8" being sure to stop about 1/2" from the bottom of the potato so you don't slice all the way through. It should stay in tact on the bottom.
Note: the thinner the slices are the faster they will cook and the crispier it will be.
In a bowl mix together the olive oil and seasonings. Use a brush to brush this mixture over each potato, sprinkle with parsley now if you want. Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees for 4 minutes.
Place potatoes in air fryer basket without overlapping any of them (so you may need multiple batches) at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are as tender and crispy on the outside as you'd like.
If you want to add shredded cheese I would sprinkle some on about 2 minutes before you're going to take them out so it can melt and crisp a bit too. Bacon should be added on top of cheese so it sticks.
